Mary's Notes: This was wonderful and reminded me of a recipe my aunt used to make using sausage in it. Very similiar to quiche also. Hal and I both liked it. I highly recommend that you throughly spray your pan, the cheese does stick. I used Veggie Slice Cheese (toful cheese) without a problem and Alpine Lace brand nonfat for the Parmesan. The Parmesan was already shredded, and the Veggie slices I just cut into small pieces. Veggie slices
melted beautifully and really tasted good in this recipe. No meat needed in this recipe, but I might try some chopped broccoli next time.

JoAnna's Notes: "If one cheese is good, and two even better, why not go culinarily wild and enjoy three scrumptious (but low-fat or reduced-fat) cheeses? Take note: This wonderful baked bread and cheese combo needs to rest for at least an hour before baking----and can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance". - JoAnna Lund
