Mil Slidne'S Breakfast Casserole
A hearty breakfast casserole layered with bread, sausage or ham, cheese, and a creamy egg mixture, perfect for overnight prep and satisfying morning cravings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Remove crusts from bread and dice into 1-inch squares.
- Layer the bread cubes in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch pan.
- Brown the sweet sausage, bacon, or ham; drain off grease and pour meat over the bread.
- Layer grated Cheddar cheese over the meat.
- In a bowl, blend eggs and dry mustard; then add milk.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pan.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes to 1 hour until set and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using whole grain or sourdough bread instead of white bread for added flavor and texture. You can substitute the sweet sausage with turkey sausage or a meat alternative for a lighter option. Adding vegetables like bell peppers or spinach can enhance the nutrition profile. To make ahead, assemble the casserole without baking and refrigerate until ready to bake, just like you would for Quiche(Quick And Easy).
Serving Suggestions
This casserole is perfect for brunch and pairs beautifully with fresh fruit or a simple green salad. Serve it alongside coffee or tea for a delightful morning spread. You can also drizzle hot sauce on individual servings for an extra kick. If you enjoy breakfast pastries, consider serving it with a slice of Mock Chocolate Eclair Cake for a sweet finish.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Avoid reheating multiple times to maintain the best texture.
