Egg and Sausage Casserole

Egg and Sausage Casserole

Recently we had some friends stay with us for the weekend, and I took full advantage of the opportunity to test out new recipes on them. πŸ™‚ We made this sausage and egg casserole for breakfast on Saturday morning and thankfully everyone declared it good enough to go on the blog. I didn’t plan ahead enough to have any of it done the night before, but it made for a fun and lazy Saturday morning Β to just hang out in the kitchen browning sausage, chopping veggies, and creating this egg casserole. The end result was more than worth the work, and it baked up into such a pretty and tasty breakfast. You can’t go wrong with eggs, sausage, cheese and bread, and this casserole is certainly proof of that.

Egg and Sausage Casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb bulk sausage
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms (about 8 oz)
6 cups cubed French bread, divided
2 cups cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup chopped tomatoes, divided
10 eggs, lightly beaten
3 cups milk
2 tsp regular mustard powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. In a large skillet, cook the sausage and mushrooms until the meat is nicely browned; drain. Place half of the bread cubes in a greased 9x13 baking dish; top with half of the sausage mixture, half of the cheese and half of the tomatoes. Repeat. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, milk, mustard, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Whisk until well combined. Pour over the bread mixture. Bake, uncovered, for 50-60 minutes, until risen, brown, and set in the middle. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
