Chef's Notes


This recipe has been tested in a 3 qt and 6 qt electric pressure cooker. If using an 8 qt, increase the water quantity to 2 cups.
If making this dish for a larger quantity, I recommend baking it in the oven.
The topping is optional, but highly recommended.  It adds a ton of flavor and texture to this breakfast favorite. 
This casserole can be assembled a day ahead of time and refrigerated. 
Cook time = Pressure cooking time. The total time includes pressure building time, prep time and time needed for the bread to soak up the custard.

I assembled the night before in a small rectangular Pyrex dish. I sweetened the liquid lightly with date syrup (my new obsession). I sprinkled the top with a bit of cinnamon sugar before baking the next morning. Since I wake up super early for the dogs and chickens it was ready for breakfast! It was beyond delicious will surely make it again!

Enjoyed baking and eating it before family hiking trip. My husband first said he did not want to eat it, when he tasted he asked for more :).
