Description

Yummy layered make-ahead breakfast dish that’s filled with all the good things in life.

Ingredients

  • 12 whole Eggs
  • 2-½ cups Half And Half (or Milk, If You Prefer)
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 4 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Oregano (or Parsley, Basil, Etc.)
  • 1 loaf Crusty French Or Italian Bread, Cut Into Cubes
  • 2 pounds Breakfast Sausage Patties, Cooked And Cut Into Cubes
  • 1 bunch (large) Regular Kale, Torn Into Pieces
  • Olive Oil, For Frying
  • 16 ounces, weight White Mushrooms, Halved
  • 2-½ cups Grated Monterey Jack Cheese

Preparation

*Note: Recipe can easily be halved.

Mix together eggs, half-and-half, salt, pepper, and minced oregano. Set aside.

Drizzle olive oil over mushrooms and sprinkle with salt and pepper, then roast in a 425 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside.

Heat olive oil over medium-high heat, then throw in kale. Cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.

Layer half the bread, half the kale, half the mushrooms, and half the cheese in a large, buttered lasagna pan. Repeat with the other half of all the ingredients, ending with the cheese. Slowly pour egg mixture all over the top.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if possible.

To bake, remove from fridge 20-30 minutes before baking. Replace plastic wrap with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until top is golden brown and slightly crisp.

This looks great – we love kale and can’t wait to try this. I may be missing it, but I’m not sure when to put the sausage in. Can anyone advise? Thanks!

I made this for Sunday brunch and loved the flavors. It was great to be able to make the night before and just pop it in the oven on Sunday. I used cooked, crumbled turkey sausage and just layered it in with the other ingredients. My only problem was that my kale remained a bit too tough – not sure if wilting it a little longer would have resolved this. Any suggestions?

This is really, really good! And microwaving the leftovers wasn’t bad, either!
