Breakfast Casserole

By Kathryn Washburn Breighner

This casserole has been a recent addition to Christmas morning. It is too good to eat only once a year! There are many versions of this egg-sausage-bread casserole and this is the version that I have created. We made a pan of it for Christmas morning and it got nibbled on all day!

Brown:
1 lb breakfast sausage (I use the fresh sausage from my local butcher)

In a medium bowl, mix:
4 eggs
2 1/2 c milk
1 t dried mustard
1 t sweet paprika
1/2 t salt
1/8 t cayenne pepper
pepper to taste

Then add in:
6 slices, toasted and cute into cubes
8 oz. shredded Cheddar cheese

Stir in the drained sausage. Pour into a well oiled 9 x 13" baking pan, cover and refrigerate over night. Bake in the morning, covered, at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake at 325 degrees for 20-30 minutes until brown.
