Note
Ensure the casserole dish is microwave-safe and non-metallic to prevent arcing or damage.
If you prefer a crispier topping, you can toast the bread squares separately until golden brown and place them on top just before serving.
For added flavor, consider sprinkling a little paprika or chopped parsley over the top after cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
You can substitute the white bread with any sturdy bread you have on hand, such as sourdough or whole wheat.
