Breakfast Casserole for Easter (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
6 big eggs
02 -
2 cups milk
03 -
½ teaspoon salt
04 -
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
05 -
1 pound cooked and broken up sausage (or ham)
06 -
4 cups stale bread chunks (French or Italian works great)
07 -
1½ cups grated cheddar cheese
08 -
½ cup sliced green onions (if you want)
09 -
½ cup chopped bell peppers (if you want)
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Beat eggs with milk, salt, and pepper in a big bowl until everything's mixed well.
03 -
Oil up a 9×13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks to it.
04 -
Put bread chunks across the bottom of the dish. Add your cooked sausage (or ham), sprinkle cheese, green onions, and bell peppers on top if you're using them.
05 -
Dump the egg mix over everything and push down gently so the bread soaks up the liquid.
06 -
Wrap the dish with foil and stick it in the oven for 25 minutes.
07 -
Take off the foil and cook another 10 minutes until eggs aren't runny and the top looks golden.
08 -
Let it sit for 5 minutes before you cut it up and dig in.
# Notes:
01 -
You can put this together the night before and keep it in the fridge. Just cook it a bit longer (5-10 more minutes) if it's cold when you start.
02 -
Stale bread works better than fresh since it won't turn mushy when it soaks up the eggs.
