Breakfast Casserole


So, the blog should probably be started off with something more, um, dinnerlike, but here's a recipe that Jess recently asked me for. It's one of my man's favorite breakfast dishes and part of my traditional Christmas breakfast. It's always a crowd pleaser and it's a make-ahead dish too. Oh, and it's my mom's recipe. There are many like it out there, but this one, of course, is my personal favorite.

6 eggs
2 cups milk
2 slices bread - cubed
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
1 tsp salt (optional)
1 tsp dry mustard
1 lb sausage, cooked and drained

Beat eggs, add everything else.
Pour into a greased 9x12 pan.
Refridgerate overnight.
Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

I often substitute low-fat sausage and it's just as good. And you can make it the morning of, but it's better when it sits overnight.

Happy cooking


Thanks for setting this up Lisa! I can't wait to get/give some great new ideas for meals. Boy have I been in a cooking rut lately.
