Sarasotas Favorite Breakfast Casserole Food

SARASOTA'S FAVORITE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Casserole -- Spray a 13x9" pan with a non-stick spray such as Pam. Add in the potatoes, right from the freezer and top with the cheese. Lightly toss just so all the cheese is not sitting right on top.
• Egg Mixture -- Beat the eggs, milk, seasoning blend, parsley, hot sauce, salt and pepper and pour over the potatoes and cheese. Top with the ham and cover with foil or saran wrap and refrigerate over night or at least 8 hours.
• Bake -- Heat the oven to 350 and position the rack on the middle shelf. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. As the casserole bakes prepare the crescent roll topping.
• Crescent Rolls -- Remove the rolls from the can and lay flat. Make sure to add a little little flour to the counter or on a sheet of parchment paper so they don't stick. I take a pizza cutter or a knife and cut the dough along the perforated sections. The rolls come out in a rectangle so I try to lay them right back on the casserole the same way. Cutting the perforations allows steam to get through the crust which will help brown the crust and help the casserole finish cooking.
• Back in the Oven -- Return to the oven and bake 15-20 minutes until the crescent roll topping is golden brown. Remove and let set 5-10 minutes before serving.
• Serve -- Cut into squares and enjoy. If you want to really make it special, serve a hollandaise sauce along the side, but I like it as is. Again, you can use bacon or sausage in this recipe, I just prefer the ham and usually serve up some crisp maple glazed bacon on the side. ENJOY!

SARASOTA'S SQUASH CASSEROLE WITH A TOMATO TOPPING

Steps:

• Vegetables -- In a medium saute pan, add the olive oil and bring to medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and squash and saute until both the squash and onion become tender. Don't cook on high, you don't want to brown them, you just want to slowly soften them. It should take around 5 minutes.
• Sauce -- In a small bowl beat the eggs well and add the sour cream, parsley, cheese, thyme, salt and pepper and mix well.
• Casserole -- After the vegetables are soft, remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, crackers, butter and then the egg / sour cream mixture.
• In a medium casserole dish, spray with Pam or any non stick spray and pour in the squash mixture. Top with the remaining cheese and cracker crumbs.
• Bake -- 425 degrees (middle shelf) for 15 minutes. Top with the tomato slices and a little salt and pepper. Cook another 10 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. ENJOY!

SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat.
• Break up the sausage as it cooks, letting it brown completely. Drain excess grease.
• Unroll the crescent rolls and spread them out in the bottom of a 9 × 13 inch baking dish, pressing the seams together to make one large sheet of dough.
• Spread the sausage over the dough.
• Then add the cheese on top of the sausage.
• In a medium bowl whisk the eggs with the milk, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Pour the egg mixture over the top of the casserole.
• Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until the crust is a nice golden brown and the eggs are set.
