Note
For best flavor, use a blend of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese. The cheddar provides a tangy punch while the mozzarella offers excellent meltability.
If you prefer a crunchier topping, you can toast the croutons in a dry pan for a few minutes before sprinkling them on top.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if cooking from cold.
