I just love all-in-one breakfasts...don't you? A complete breakfast (and then some!) in one easy to eat little square. I've always like breakfast casseroles, but it's rare that I get a chance to make them. During the week I'm usually alone for breakfast (Jesse prefers a yogurt and breakfast bar before heading off to school each morning), and on the weekends, Heath and Jesse get up so early that they eat way before I do.
When I picked this recipe, I totally planned on making it Saturday morning...didn't quite work out that way. On Thursday I made a slow cooker recipe that I just knew I wasn't gonna like. I figured I'd just run down to Burger King and grab a Whopper Jr, but then this popped into my head. I cut the recipe in half, prepared it in an 8x8 baking dish, and made it for dinner that night. It was really good! Heath and Jesse ate the slow cooker meal, but later that night I caught Heath nibbling on some of the leftovers of this. Even he liked it! (he's not a big avocado fan)
I'd love to make this again, but since there's no way in hell I'm getting my butt out of bed at 6:30am on a Saturday or Sunday to eat breakfast with my husband and son, I think it's safe to say we won't be seeing this again any time soon. Seriously...6:30am. On the weekend. Not. Gonna. Happen. Not unless the house is on fire.

'California Breakfast Casserole'
Source: Favorite Family Recipes
Ingredients
12 pre-cooked (frozen) breakfast sausage patties, thawed
2-3 sliced tomatoes
2-3 sliced avocados
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1 package frozen hash browns, thawed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
extra cheddar cheese for topping
2-3 sliced tomatoes
2-3 sliced avocados
12 eggs
1 cup milk
1 package frozen hash browns, thawed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
extra cheddar cheese for topping
Directions
1. Heat oven to 350. Layer the bottom of a greased 9×13 pan with sausage topped with tomatoes and avocado.
2. In a bowl, beat eggs and milk. Stir in all other ingredients. Pour hash and egg mixture over the sausage, tomatoes, and avocados.
3. Bake for 45-60 min or until well set. Top with extra cheddar right after pulling out of the oven so it melts all over the top. Top with salsa or sour cream.
Love your website, but red text on blue background is hard to read. :-(
ReplyDeleteI know, I'm sorry. As I explained to another woman...the background used to be white, so the red lettering stood out, but then I unexpectedly had to change my whole background a couple months ago. All my new posts are now in white lettering, and I changed many of my past posts, but mainly just the most popular. It was very time consuming to go into each individual post to change the font color, especially for posts that rarely get viewed. If you come across a post with red lettering, you can just right-click to highlight the text so you can read it better. If you want to print it (older recipes also don't have the 'print' option) you can highlight the text, and cut and copy it to notebook and print from there. Sorry :(
