Category: Breakfast Casseroles
Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
2 tbsp butter
2 cups French bread, broken into small pieces
1 cup whole milk
8 large eggs
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp coarse ground black pepper
4 tbsp salted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup fully cooked breakfast sausage links, thinly sliced
3/4 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 lb Lorraine or baby Swiss, shredded or sliced
10 slices bacon, fried, drained and crumbled
1 1/2 cup soft bread cubes, sauteed in butter
Grease a 13x9 inch baking dish with butter; set it aside. Then, almost as if you were making a bread pudding custard, mix the milk with the bread, gently knead it together with your fingers, and set the mixture aside to soak and form a slurry.
In the meantime, whip the eggs gently; stir in the salt, pepper, and butter until fully incorporated and gently combine it all with the milk and bread slurry. Pour into the baking pan and gently swirl into the eggs the sausage pieces and the cheddar so that they are uniformly distributed. Then cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate it overnight.
Then when it is time to cook, evenly layer on the bacon, top it with the Swiss cheese slices, and crown it all with the sauteed bread cubes.
All that is left is to bake the casserole at 400, about 25 to 30 minutes or until the eggs have set. Cut into squares and serve.
NOTE: Keep the casserole warm in the oven at about 160 degrees.
