I have to bring a breakfast-type food to an event coming up. I've made this breakfast casserole before and it turns out great. Here's the recipe:
16-1/4inch baguette slices, cut on diagonal
1 tbsp. butter
12 oz. fresh baby spinach leaves
1 lb. sweet Italian sausage
1-1/2 cups Fontina cheese, shredded
3/4 cup diced drained roasted red peppers
6 large eggs
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Butter an 8x8x2 baking dish. Place 8 baguette slices in bottom; press 2 baguette slices onto each side. Melt 1 tbsp butter in large pot over medium heat. Add spinach; toss until wilted (about 3 min.) Transfer spinach to strainer; cool. Squeeze dry. Transfer to medium bowl.
Heat same pot over medium-high heat. Add sausage; break up and saute until cooked through. Mix into spinach; mix in 1 cup cheese and peppers. Spread atop baguette slices in bottom of dish. Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend.
Whisk in last 4 ingredients. Pour over spinach mixture and stir lightly with fork to distribute. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over top. Bake until puffed, golden and set - about 55 min. Remove from oven and allow to rest for about 15 min.
I'll post a picture when I actually put it together.
I can totally attest, this is the BEST recipe, it was so yummy at today's party. I'm making it.
