Description
A simple baked casserole featuring eggs, Italian sausage, cheese, and bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup cubed Italian bread (stale is fine)
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8×8 inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add cooked sausage and cook for 1 minute more. Spread the sausage and onion mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Distribute the cubed bread over the sausage mixture. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella and all of the Parmesan cheese over the bread.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and cheese in the baking dish.
- Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute mild Italian sausage with ground turkey or ham.
- Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg mixture.
