One of my favourite go-to-meal preps! Make it in the evening and wake up to an irresistibly delicious breakfast! It super easy and quick. I love how fluffy and tender the inside is and how gloriously crispy the top is. Try it for one of your back-to-school breakfasts! 

Substitute: Almond milk for 2% milk and gluten-free bread for whole grain bread.
