Breakfast Brunch

This cassarole has everything in it that you want for breakfast.

1 package of ground sausage ( or you can use Bacon too )

1 small to medium onion

1-1 1/2 loaf of crusty bread cut into small cubes ( I used a baguette )

2-3  cups of grated cheese ( I used a mixed blend )

1 cup cottage cheese ( you could use ricotta for this too )

6 eggs

2 cups milk

1/2 tsp ground mustard

1/2 tsp nutmeg ( I grated my own )

1/4 tsp ground pepper

Cook sausage in a large skillet until cooked through. Add onion and cook till tender.

Spread 1/2 of the bread cubes in the bottomof a 13 X 9 baking dish Layer the bread with half of the meat, onion, cheese and cottage cheese.Ttop with the remaining bread cubes and cheese, meat and onions, and all the cheeses. ( its like a breakfast lasagna )

Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl until foamy. Add the spices and pour over the top. Press the bread into the milk to make sure the bread is covered and moist.

( you  can let this stand for a few minutes to make sure the bread is all coated. )

Bake in a 350 preheated oven for about 40 - 50 minutes.
