Edited because my iPad went haywire and posted before it had any content haha.

Non egg cook.
Seems like everyone has a breakfast casserole they make during the holidays. This one is really good, never tried it on the egg but I hope to soon.



It's called breakfast bread pudding! Anyone have a favorite breakfast casserole they cook on the egg?? Would love to hear some ideas.

Breakfast Bread Pudding:

1 lb jimmy dean maple sausage 

1/2 cup minced yellow onion

1/3 cup dry white wine

8 cups 1 day old French bread torn into 1 inch pieces 

2 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy cream 

1/4 cup melted butter 

8 eggs beaten

1/2 pound Monterey Jack 

1/2 pound mild cheddar

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper 

I usually use 1/2 pound (8ounces) Colby Jack instead of Monterey Jack since it's not spicy and maybe a cup of cheddar

Directions:

Cook the sausage then add in the onion and cook until soft, then add white wine and cook about 2-3 minutes 

In a large bowl add in the bread and milk and cream and stir well, let it sit for 5 minutes. pour the melted butter in 10x13 casserole dish, mix all ingredients in with the bread mixture and mix together, pour into casserole dish cover with tin foil and cook 1 hour @ 325 then cook uncovered for 15, Increase the temp to 375 and cook for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
