any tips?
- My number one tip is to prepare the casserole the night before and leave it in the fridge. The ingredients have so much more time to unfold their flavors which you really can taste.
- Use any fruits you like as topping for the casserole. I love to use berries or mango and maple syrup and to give it a fresh kick use fresh mint. It’s sooo good.
- Bake for 30 minutes 180° C in the oven or until the top is golden brown. Now ready to serve you can enjoy the perfect sweet brunch recipe.
