This recipe is from Southern Living Magazine but tweaked a bit by me. It's great for an early-morning breakfast or brunch for a crowd, because you can do most of the work ahead of time and just throw it in the oven the morning you want to serve it.

SERVES 8 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, stirring until it crumbles and is no longer pink; drain well.
  2. 2
    Place bread cubes in a lightly greased 9" X 13" baking pan.
  3. 3
    Sprinkle bread evenly with cheese, and top with sausage (or ham).
  4. 4
    Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, dry mustard and Worcestershire sauce and pour evenly over sausage mixture.
  5. 5
    Cover and chill casserole for 8 hours (may be frozen at this point, and thawed before cooking).
  6. 6
    Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
  7. 7
    Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until set.
  8. 8
    Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Good recipe. No one asked for the recipe @ the office breakfast potluck so I couldn't give it 5 stars. I will probably make this again.

    This was especially good with maple flavored sausage. I also made one with "Give me Lean" soy sausage substituted for the regular sausage for vegetarian friends. That was okay, a little on the dry side so I drizzled syrup on it and that made it more moist and tastier.

    I made this recipe in advance and froze it like you sugested.It turned out great. The recipe held up to the freezing and thawing with out affecting the quality . A make ahead recipe like this is an easy way to cut down on your time in the kitchen when you're having friends for the weekend. We all loved it. I added finely chopped garlic and onion to the sausage while it was cooking.they added a nice touch. Thanks for postong this one!!! J.C.

    I was really pleased with this. I made it on New Year's morning for my husband and I. We used day-old french bread and halved the recipe, baking in a round dish about 8 inches across. I used parmesan and mozzarella cheese and breakfast sausage. It set really well in about 30 minutes and the cheese was nice and bubbly. The bread made a surprisingly nice base and the seasonings in the egg were just right, tasty but not overwhelming. Wouldn't change a thing, although garlic and onions would be a nice touch. Halving this was perfect for the two of us (we didn't have anything else with it) so unless you're doing a few other things for breakfast you might find a whole dish is not enough for 8 people.
