1- Thanksgiving Breakfast Casserole
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
-
12 large eggs
-
2 cups whole milk
-
2 Granny Smith apples, diced
-
2 pounds sage sausage
-
1/2 cup half-and-half
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
-
Salted butter, for greasing the lasagna pan
-
6 cinnamon raisin English muffins, cut into bite-size chunks
-
2 1/2 cups grated white Cheddar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook
until browned and cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the sausage with a
slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Without cleaning the
skillet, add the apples, onion and sage and cook until the onion has softened,
2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Mix together the eggs, milk and half-and-half in a large pitcher or
bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Grease a large casserole dish with some butter. Layer in half the
English muffins, half the sausage, half the apple/onion mixture and half the
cheese. Repeat with the other half of the same ingredients, ending with the
cheese. Slowly pour the egg mixture all over the top. Cover with plastic wrap
and refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the pan from the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before baking.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Replace the plastic wrap on top of the casserole with aluminum
foil. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake
until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp, 10 to 15 minutes more.
- Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy.
