Sumptuous Breakfast Casserole

Our mother taught us that meals bring families together.  Food has always been an important part of family get-togethers so this weekend when the three sisters and their husbands came together, we cooked, ate and drank our way through three days of joy.

We shared cooking duties.  Pat and I planned meals.  Carol planned beverages.  We will all be sharing our favorites from the weekend over the next days.

I will start with my breakfast casserole.  There are many similar recipes on the internet but this is my spin on a delicious dish that can be prepared the morning of or ahead of time and refrigerated before baking in the morning.

Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 325 degrees (unless you are making this the night before). Grease a 9x13 pan. Cook your meat of choice.
  2. Cut bread into 3/4 inch cubes. Pretty much cover the bottom of the greased baking dish with bread cubes. Just toss them in to cover, don't go arranging them.
  3. Pour the melted butter over the cubes, Give the cubes a bit of a toss so each has some of that buttery goodness.Cover with the shredded cheese.
  4. Whisk the eggs, milk, half and half, and sour cream. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the egg mixture over those cheesy cubes in the pan.
  5. Sprinkle the bacon pieces (or other meat) over the top. I mince some parsley and sprinkle it on but that is just me and is highly optional.
  6. Cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes.
  7. Serve. (Stand back...there will be a stampede for the table!)

    Making this for the inlaws this weekend! If it’s a miss, I blame you.

    Suggestion – when combining the eggs, milk, cream and sour cream, beat the eggs, then beat in the sour cream, then add the milk/half and half. The sour cream is much easier to integrate this way than if you wait and add it last (don’t ask me how I know this).
