Another Timely Recipe

Here’s another recipe that it seems everyone has their own version of- Breakfast Casserole- also called an egg bake or egg casserole. I love to use this recipe with day old bread. It is also a tradition for breakfast on Easter Morning. (To some- eggs are forbidden during Lent).

Oh, I may have shared this in a previous post but since I use it for Easter- well instead of slogging thru back posts- I’m just gonna post it again. So if this is a repeat for you- Sorry!

Breakfast Casserole

It seems like everyone has their own version of this simple yet yummy casserole. Here’s mine:

1 lb. pork sausage, browned

6 eggs, beaten

2 cups milk

8-10 slices day-old bread

½ tsp salt

1 tsp dry mustard

1 cup grated cheese (I mix sharp cheddar & Colby Jack)

chopped chives, oregano to taste

Tear bread up into pieces and mix with all other ingredients. Pour into a 9x13 pan and bake @ 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until done. Sprinkle with a bit more cheese to melt pretty on top. For added flair- tie chive stalks into bows and add to top of casserole along with chive blossoms. Or Make a criss-cross pattern on top with chive stalks.
