Directions

1 Heat oven to 375°F. Brown the sausage in a saute pan over medium heat for 3 minutes, breaking it into bite size pieces. Add the mushrooms, bell peppers, 1 tsp salt and pepper. Cook an additional 5 minutes. Let cool. Drain.
2 In a bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Add remaining salt and cheese; stir to combine.
3 Add the bread cubes and cooled sausage mixture to a greased 13×9-inch baking dish. Toss to combine.
4 Pour the egg mixture over the bread and sausage: press the bread mixture down gently to soak up some of the egg mixture.
5 Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes; uncover and bake an additional 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

- If desired, you could add zucchini, green peppers, yellow peppers, tomatoes. - I recommend washing mushrooms before slicing; canned mushrooms are a great substitute. - You can use your favorite sausage. I recommend chicken apple sausage. The recipe was tested with maple pork sausage. Ground sausage or links would work nicely. - We used a 12-inch non-stick skillet for cooking the meat and vegetables - Use any milk of your preference. - Crack eggs in a separate bowl to make sure egg is okay, and you do not get any shell into the rest of your mixture. - I recommend buttering or using cooking spray on the baking dish before adding ingredients. - You can prep ingredients the day before, assemble quickly before placing in oven, if crunched for time. - To check “doneness” of the casserole, insert knife – casserole is done if knife comes out clean. - Spray foil with cooking spray before covering casserole to prevent cheese/egg sticking to foil. - Casserole can go directly from the oven to the table – does not need to “set up.”

This turned out GREAT. I made it up the night before and let it sit, covered, in the frig. Baked it an hour before the time needed and everyone was amazed. I told them it tasted like a supreme pizza...which it did. Used an orange pepper and included an onion and two small zucchini. The taste hit the spot. Used Challah for my bread and didn't use any other extras than what the recipe called for. Be creative. You can't go wrong when you use the basics from this recipe.

Delicious! Everyone loved it. I did modify the recipe somewhat by using 9 eggs instead of 12 and I also added a bit of onion for taste. Will definitely make this again!

I made this recipe for Christmas morning breakfast and it was absolutely WONDERFUL. I only used 10 eggs and it was perfect.. not too eggy. Also, I added slices tomato and cooked potato, which was lovely. I didn't include sausage because my teenager is vegetarian, and it was still filling and tasty. Make sure you mix the bread cubes well into the mixture. This is my new #1 favorite breakfast recipe!
