A little help in the kitchen

Lori’s ingredient notes: Cut the bread into small, even cubes so it soaks up the egg mixture. For this sausage-and-egg casserole, check that the center reaches 165°F.

Make it breakfast: Add sliced tomatoes or a bowl of fresh fruit.

Prep ahead: Fully cook and crumble the sausage ahead, then refrigerate. Cube the bread and shred the cheese separately; mix the egg mixture when you are ready to assemble.

Tomorrow’s breakfast: Refrigerate individual portions so you can reheat just one. Tuck a warmed portion into a tortilla with a spoonful of salsa for a breakfast wrap.

Refrigerate perishable leftovers in shallow containers within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), and use within 3–4 days. Reheat cooked leftovers to 165°F. FoodSafety.gov guidance.

A little help before breakfast: An OXO balloon whisk makes it easy to blend the eggs before pouring them over the bread, sausage, and cheese. A smooth egg mixture helps everything come together in the baking dish. Then the oven takes over the breakfast shift.
