Comments from the Recipe Developer

This recipe gives leftover bread new life. Drier bread absorbs the custard more fully, resulting in a richer flavor. TREHA® keeps the texture moist while moderating sweetness. Adding bacon and cheese transforms it into a savory baguette quiche perfect as a meal bread.
