Sausage Bread Casserole

Chef’s Notes: SmithCale is the definition of a Momma’s boy. So when he spoke with his mom yesterday and she requested more recipes, he promptly took pictures of dinner. In honor of you, Diane, a savory recipe baked in the ramekins you gave me last Christmas!

Plan of Attack:

1. Toast

2. Brown

3. Combine and Bake

Ingredients for 2:

4-5oz (3-4 slices) bread, cubed

Cooking spray

¼ + 1/8 C shredded cheddar cheese

3 green onions, chopped

¼ + 1/8 milk

1/8 C chicken broth (or water)

4 oz sausage links (we used chicken)

1/4 C fresh parsley (or 1 Tbsp squeezy parsley)

2 large egg yolks

2 large egg whites

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees
2. Place bread cubes on a baking tray sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 10 minutes; set aside to cool
3. Heat a skillet to medium-high heat, add sausage and cook until nicely browned and cooked through; cut into chunks; set aside.
4. While bread is toasting and sausage is cooking, in a large bowl combine ¼ C cheddar, green onions, milk, chicken broth, salt and pepper and egg yolks
5. In another small bowl whisk the egg whites with a beater for 1 minutes until frothy; set aside
6. Once bread has cooled slightly (only about a minute or two), add to the green onion mixture along with the sausage
7. Fold in the egg whites, being careful not to over mix
8. Divide into 2 ramekins sprayed with cooking spray and top with remaining 1/8 C shredded cheese
9. Bake for 20 minutes
10. Enjoy!
