Summary about Breakfast Casseroles by Jack Graham

Ingredients:

1 lb ground sausage (hot or mild)

6 eggs

2 cups milk

6 slices of white bread (crust trimmed off)

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 teaspoon dry mustard

1/4 lb grated sharp cheddar cheese

Brown the sausage in a skillet or frying pan and set aside to drain well. Spray a 2 qt baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Cover the bottom of the dish with the bread. Spread the sausage over the top of the bread.

Whisk up the eggs along with the milk, salt, and mustard until evenly blended. Pour this egg mixture over the sausage and bread, and then sprinkle on the grated cheese until the entire top surface is covered.

Cover the baking dish and put it into the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook. When you’re ready just remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow it to approach room temperature (about a half an hour). Then bake it uncovered at 350ºF for 50 minutes.

That’s it. It’s that easy. Again, this is a great way to serve breakfast to a group of people. If you have more than six, just double up the recipe using two baking dishes.

Challah French Toast Casserole For Breakfast

Summary about Breakfast Casseroles by Audrey Okaneko

I’d like to share a French toast casserole recipe that uses one full loaf of challah.

French Toast Casserole

1 loaf of challah
1 cup of milk (whole milk or half and half works best)
(if your challah is large add additional liquid to the recipe)
¾ cup brown sugar
8 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Salt to taste

Slice the challah into 1 ½ inch thick slices. Place in the bottom of a casserole dish. Tear the bread as needed to fit into the casserole dish. Mix together the remaining ingredients. Pour over the casserole, cover and store in refrigerator over night.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 45 minutes.

I have seen both ginger and nutmeg used in French toast casserole recipes. If you like those flavors, you can add ½ teaspoon of nutmeg or ¼ teaspoon ground ginger. Both will add additional flavor to the casserole.

You can also add either cranberries or raisins to the recipe. Pour the fruit on top of the bread in the casserole dish before pouring the liquid mixture on top.

When the casserole is done, cut into squares to serve. You can sprinkle powdered sugar on top, spoon fruit filling over the top or pour syrup on top.
