    If a Full English Breakfast is the breakfast of all breakfasts, this sausage egg casserole is definitely on the second place when it comes to a filling dish to start your day.

    Forget about continental, this is the real deal. I know the during the week is not always an option to have a cooked breakfast, now and then at weekend we should definitely be for spoiling our taste buds.

    I wouldn't have it every day anyway, it's more the kind of dish you have on special occasions, like Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter morning, or when you have a family gathering. You probably won't be ready for lunch until much later, it does make you feel full quickly. Comfort food at its best!

    What's not to love: sausages, bread, milk and eggs - the dream combo if you ask me. And the smell of that while cooking; just perfect! I will definitely make it again for Christmas day, I can't think of a better breakfast.

    How TO make sausage egg breakfast casserole

    Nothing simpler, some good old bread, and if you have some that is going to get stale soon, even better, it really does not need to be fresh. You can either toast it a bit, or just use it the way it is, it does not really matter. Cut it up in cubes or just tear it, it won't make a difference.

    The sausages need to be cooked though, either fry them or baked them in the oven for about 30 minutes or so, depending on the sausages.

    Ready to eat ones are also fine, it saves you time cooking them. You can go for any kind of sausages, pork, turkey, chicken, vegetarian, etc. Cheese, again, I used Cheddar, just because I happened to have some in the fridge. Although I always seem to have some in the fridge, it's our favourite for sure.

    • Cut up the bread into cubes, add half the amount on a dish, add half the cooked sausages sliced, grated cheese, then repeat again with bread, sausages and cheese.
    • Beat the eggs lightly, add the milk, season to taste, then pour it over the dish. Leave to chill for at least 2-3 hours, ideally overnight.
    • Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown.

    Tips and tricks to make the best breakfast casserole

    You can definitely bake it straight away, no need to be refrigerated unless you want to make it the night before, just to save you some time in the morning. Otherwise, once all is prepared, it can go straight in the oven.

    Don't bake it at high temperature though, better to leave it at 170 degrees Celsius, or 340 Fahrenheit, otherwise the top will brown too quickly, while the egg mixture won't be set completely.

    My dish is a small square one, I think it measures approximately 6.5x6.5 inches, so 17x17 cm. Double up the amounts if you have a larger family. I certainly enjoyed it, and I can see myself making it again. That's the kind of food my father would absolutely love, I must make it for him when he comes to visit.

    It's definitely a kind of "man food", meaty, heavy, but absolutely delicious. A real morning treat! Do give it a go!
