My Favorite Brunch Menu

The top menu item in all of our family brunches is always eggs fantastic. This is a wonderful concoction of eggs, sausage and cheeses that we have been making for over 30 years. I'm not sure where the original recipe came from, but over the years we have refined it to the recipe that is shown below.

There have been times where I have wanted to try something different, but due to popular opinion, I have always come back to this favorite egg casserole recipe.

One of the great things about this recipe is that it can be made up the evening before and then popped in the oven 30 minutes before brunch time.

Preheat oven to 400 F, grease a 9x13 pan

Combine your sausage, mushrooms and onions in a skillet. Saute these items until the sausage is completely cooked. Drain well and set aside.

While the sausage is cooking I combine the eggs and sour cream in a blender for about 1 minute. Pour the egg combo into a greased baking dish and bake until the eggs are soft set. This takes about 5-10 minutes. I keep a close watch on this.

Next you spoon the chili sauce over the eggs, then spoon the sausage mixture over that and finally layer with the combined cheeses.

If you want to serve immediately you can broil until the cheeses are melted.

To serve the next day, cover and refrigerate. The next day you will uncover the casserole and bake it at 325 F until the cheeses are melted.

This cassorole serves 6-8 people.
