SUNDAY MORNING CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 2 1/2 to 3 quart baking dish with butter, oil, or cooking spray.
• Cube the bread and place in the dish in a single even layer.
• In a large skillet, cook the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it is almost cooked through, about 5 minutes.
• Drain off the fat.
• Layer the sausage over the bread, and top with the potatoes; sprinkle the cheese on top.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard powder, salt, and black pepper to taste.
• Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and potatoes in the casserole.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• When ready to cook the casserole, preheat the oven to 350°.
• Bake the casserole until set and golden, about 30 minutes.
• Serve hot.

THE BEST BREAKFAST EGG BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up and stirring with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is no longer pink and is crispy and brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Whisk the sour cream, heavy cream, ground mustard, garlic salt, kosher salt, black pepper and eggs together in a large bowl. Add the sausage, hash browns, both cheeses, bell pepper and scallions (reserving 2 tablespoons of scallions for serving) to the egg mixture. Fold to combine.
• Unroll the crescent dough and press it into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Dock or pierce the dough with a fork, making sure the entire sheet of dough is evenly docked with holes. Pour the egg mixture over the dough and spread it evenly into the dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove the foil. The egg should be somewhat set, but still wet and light in color. Return to the oven and bake uncovered until the egg is completely set and it is browned on the top and sides, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Let the bake rest for at least 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved scallions and serve warm or room temperature.

EASY LIKE SUNDAY MORNING BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Grease a baking pan (I use olive oil).
• Distribute the bread pieces evenly in the pan. In my house this means tossing to bowl into the pan and just patting everything into place.
• Beat the eggs with the milk. Add the salt, pepper, paprika and any other spices and herbs that float your boat. Beat again.
• Pour this over the bread. Aim for an even distribution.
• Toss the sausage pieces over the bread. Try to be fair and cover the whole dish evenly.
• Sprinkle the cheese over the whole thing. Again, aim for an even distribution.
• Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Stick a knife in the center. If it comes out clean, your breakfast is done.
• Let cool for about 5 minutes until serving.
