Another version of the ever-popular breakfast casserole, made with bread, seasonings, eggs, and sausage.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • dash ground cayenne pepper
  • 3 slices French or Italian bread or other firm white bread, cubed
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, about 4 ounces

Preparation:

In a large skillet, crumble sausage; brown over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain well, patting with paper towels to absorb excess grease.

In a large bowl beat eggs, milk, and seasonings until smooth and well blended. Stir in the drained sausage and remaining ingredients (bread cubes and shredded cheese). Pour the mixture into a lightly buttered 8-inch square baking dish; cover and refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before baking time. Bake in preheated 325° oven for 60 to 75 minutes, until eggs are set and lightly browned. A knife inserted near center should come out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Serves 4 to 6.

Easy and GreatDecember 12, 2008By NWMonkeyGirl
"My mother used to make a version of this recipe for Christmas morning when I was a kid. Because we only had it once a year, we, kids, thought it was a special special treat. Once on my own, I asked my mother for the recipe and she laughed. I now realize what an incredibly EASY recipe it is, and I make it for my kids TOO. Nice for Saturday mornings. Sometimes I don't even bother to refrigerate overnight and it's just as good. Can't go wrong with this one!"
