I recently had a breakfast casserole at a pot-luck breakfast.
It had blueberries, pieces of strawberry and slices of banana (or maybe it was plantain) on top. There was a cream cheese layer under the fruit.
I was going to try to adapt a normal sort of breakfast casserole recipe, but if anyone knows an existing recipe it would save me a possible failed experiment.
thanks
I forgot to mention that it didn't have the usual sausage and cheese. It was just the egg/bread base and then the fruit and cream cheese was on the top.
The stuff on top was definitely cooked some but maybe not as long as the whole thing.
The result was sort of like a giant danish pastry, just eggs instead of pastry and not overly sweet.

I’ve made this and it was wonderful. I see no reason you could not add some apple or berries to it.
