Sourdough Bread and Egg Bake
The combination of eggs, sausage or bacon, sourdough bread and cheese creates the most amazing egg breakfast! Try this with your stale or day old sourdough bread!
Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1-2 cups diced old bread I like to use old sourdough bread or focaccia bread.
- 2 cups browned breakfast sausage About 1/2 pound
- 1-2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese you can also use mild, medium or swiss cheese
- salt and pepper to taste About 1/2 teaspoon each, more or less depending on your preference.
- butter to grease the pan
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Prep your cast iron skillet by brushing butter on the surface. I use a 12 inch or 15 inch skillet. If you use a large skillet, you will need to double or 1 anf 1/2 the recipe.
- In a large bowl, add your eggs and milk and whisk together.
- Add your sausage, 1 cup of cheese, salt and pepper and your bread and fold it all together.
- Pour the mixture into your skillet and top with remaining cheese. You may need more.
- Bake this in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the top is browned and the middle is firm when you tap on it. If it still feels gushy it needs to bake longer.
- When it is done remove it from the oven and let it rest for about 5-10 minutes just to cool a bit.
- Serve with your favorite sides and toppings. We love adding salsa, avocados, and even some sour cream.
- Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container and reheat int he microwave or air fryer. I prefer the air fryer.
