This recipe came from my Aunt Sue many years ago - I think the e-mail I have printed out in a recipe binder is from 1999! When we used to have friends over for brunch, I would usually make a quiche. Now the mornings are just too hectic with S&Z, so I have been making an "overnight" egg dish for these occasions. I can put the whole thing together the night before, and then just throw it in the oven 30 minutes before our guests arrive. Served with a side of fruit, it's a delicious, make ahead meal. Serves 4 adults and 2-3 kids
9 x 13" glass casserole pan
3/4 lb breakfast sausage or turkey sausage
1 onion, chopped
2 c. shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese
8 pieces of bread, crusts removed so everything fits in the bottom of the casserole dish
8 eggs, whisked
1-1/4 c. milk
Salt and pepper
1. Brown sausage and onion; drain.
* I haven't tried this, but it occurred to me today that an optional addition would be to also saute peppers and mushrooms with the sausage and onion, like a quiche filling.
2. Place bread in a single layer in the bottom of the casserole pan. Layer sausage, cheese, sausage, and cheese on top of the bread.
3. Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Pour on top of the sausage and bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
4. In the morning, cook on 350 degrees for ~ 1 hour, or until eggs are set and the top is lightly browned.
Even Zoe and Silas loved this today! It was their first taste of Jimmy Dean sausage :)
