A hearty, hot breakfast!
Level: Medium Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients:
6 ounces ground sausage
5 slices bread, crust removed
4 eggs, beaten
1 cup low fat milk
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Directions:
Remember to wash your hands!
Prepare the day before serving:
1. In a skillet, cook sausage until browned. Drain well on paper towel.
2. Cube or tear bread into small pieces. In a large mixing bowl, combine
bread cubes, sausage and remaining ingredients.
3. Lightly coat 8x8-inch pan with cooking spray. Add egg mixture, cover
with foil and refrigerate overnight.
Ready to bake the next day:
4. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake, covered, for 45 minutes.
Uncover and bake another 15 minutes or until brown. To serve, cut
into squares. Refrigerate leftovers.
Helpful Hints: This egg dish is a great recipe for kids to fix for "mom" or
that special person on Mother’s Day. Everyone can help with this recipe –
little ones can tear the bread into pieces, older kids with adult supervision
can cook the sausage and drain it, and those in-between can break the eggs
and combine the ingredients. Children of all ages enjoy meals more when
they have been involved in the planning and preparation.
Safety Tip: Buy eggs that are refrigerated because they can spoil quickly
when they’re not kept cold. Open cartons at the store to make sure the
eggs are not cracked or dirty. Remember to refrigerate eggs as soon as
you get home from the grocery store and use within about three weeks.
