Notes: To give credit, where credit is due, this originally came from Mary Pat Kyer at a wonderful brunch in the early 70's in Arlington, VA. I rarely use this original recipe anymore. The liquids always stay the same but I have substituted sausage or shrimp for the ham, French or whole wheat bread for the white, experimented with many different cheeses and added many different vegetables: peppers, chilies, artichokes, broccoli, asparagus . There is hardly anything that doesn't work. The great thing about this is that it can be made the day before and is ready to pop in the oven when you wake up.
