Lost my mind: Why do I have 9 oz grated cheese, 1 lb cooked pork sausage, and...

a bag of cubed bread, packed individually, and then combined in a large zip lock bag? Was there a breakfast strata I hoped to make?

Dawn has one that came up in a search but hers uses spinach which I don't care for. Any brilliant ideas?

 
I originally posted this breakfast dish @the Old Gail's--Wine & 3-Cheese Omelet frm Tri Kappa Cookbk

Wine and 3-Cheese Omelet from Tri Kappa Cookbook of Bloomington, Indiana

1 large loaf day-old French bread, broken into small pieces (about a 1-pound loaf)
6 Tbsp butter, melted
3/4 pound shredded domestic Swiss cheese (I like using baby Swiss.)
1/2 pound Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
1 to 1.5 pounds hot sausage, browned and crumbled* (I use Jimmy Dean Hot Pork Sausage.)
16 eggs
3-1/4 cups whole milk
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 whole green onions, minced
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1-1/2 cups sour cream
2/3 to 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Lightly butter two 9x13" baking dishes and/or spray with PAM. (I do both--first butter & then spray with PAM.) Spread bread over bottom of dishes and drizzle with the 6 Tbsp melted butter. Spread cheeses, sausage, and chopped green onions evenly on top.

Beat eggs, milk, wine, mustard, black & cayenne peppers together until foamy. Divide and pour over bread & cheese & onion mixtures in pans.

Refrigerate overnight. Set out 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking in order to come to room temperature. Bake 1 hour at 325 degrees F covered with foil. Remove and dollop with sour cream. (I try to spread the sour cream around as much as I can.) Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake another 15 minutes, uncovered, until brown.

Each 9 by 13" dish serves 10 to 12.

*Instead of sausage you may substitute ham slices or salami. Lisa In Birmingham (from the Old Gail's site) wrote me that she used Black Forest Ham with great success.

Wigs, this reads delish! Mine went southwest with Hatch chiles and

chopped roasted red pepper, dashes of cholula, S+P, 7 eggs, 2 cups milk, 4 cups dry bread cubes. Put in two 8" pans. My German houseguest thought it very good. smileys/smile.gif
