I will never understand why I can’t get myself out of bed on time during the week, but on the weekend I am wide awake at 6:30. Thank God that doesn’t happen every weekend.
It wasn’t too terrible to wake up early this morning because I got to enjoy the sunshine before the clouds rolled in. There was also extra time to put this breakfast casserole together. I know that this recipe is not original. I was excited to try it because it let me use the breakfast sausage from Brad Moore’s Farm. This is my first dish using any of the pork that he brought to our Farm to Fork meat buying club (see more info here).
I don’t normally like sausage all that much, but this stuff was great! There are about 1 million different variations of this casserole, and you can put it together the night before and just pull it out and bake it in the morning. I halved the recipe and it turned out fine. You could freeze the leftovers and pull them out during the week for a quick breakfast if you wanted. The next time I will add some vegetables to the mix; tomatoes and green onions come to mind.
Weekend Breakfast Casserole
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9×13 inch glass baking dish. Place bread cubes in prepared dish, top with sausage and cheese. Beat together eggs, milk, mustard and salt. Season with pepper. Pour egg mixture over sausage mixture. Bake casserole until puffed and center is set, about 50 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
