Country Brunch




Country Brunch


12 eggs, beaten
9 slices bread, crusts removed, cut into 1/2 inch squares
4 tablespoons butter, cut into small cubes
2 1/2 cups milk
6 scallions, chopped, including green tops
1/2 bell pepper, chopped fine
2 pounds pork sausage, browned, drained and crumbled
2 C grated sharp Cheddar cheese
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Combine above ingredients and pour into a buttered 9x13" casserole dish.   Refrigerate covered overnight.  In the morning, bake uncovered at 325 degrees F. for 1 hour and 20 minutes.  Leftovers are great reheated!

This is our traditional family breakfast every Thanksgiving morning and Christmas morning.  With all the hustle and bustle going on for the holiday meal, it's nice to have at least breakfast done in advance!
