Author Notes

Rustic baked egg dish celebrating those broken lasagne pieces leftover in the box. They have 2 starring roles: baked in the egg custard for texture and also fried for a crunchy topping. The supporting cast includes crab cakes and shrimp. The backdrop is a nod to tuna noodle casserole. —Lisa Benoit
