Buff’s Breakfast Casserole

I am always amazed when I come across a recipe which makes a dish that tastes significantly more complicated than it is.  My colleague brought this into the office for our team brunch and it made a big impact. He made it three different ways, cheese, sausage, and with vegetables.  If you are looking for a delicious dish to bring a friend’s house or whip up when unexpected company arrives at your house try this deliciously simple breakfast casserole.  The recipe is as follows:

• 6 slices of regular slice white bread torn up
• 3/4 tsp dried mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 5 eggs
• 2 cups of milk
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Variations:

Add in 1 lb of cooked sweet Italian sausage

Add 1 cup each of  green and  peppers, mushrooms, and 1/2 diced onion, sauteed.

Prep:

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl add torn bread, mustard, and salt and pepper.

In a separate bowl beat eggs with milk.  Mix milk mixture and cheese to the bread.

This is where you can make a different variation by adding in sausage or vegetables.

Pour into a buttered baking dish.

Bake for 45 minutes.

Serve hot.
