Description

A savory and delightful breakfast dish featuring layers of cheese, sausage, and eggs baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground pork sausage
  • 8 tablespoons butter, split
  • 12 slices of American processed cheese
  • 1 cup whole milk, separated
  • 18 large eggs, split up
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, coarsely ground
  • 1/4 tsp coarse salt
  • 1/2 tsp mustard powder
  • 12 slices of thick-cut Texas toast

Instructions

  1. Turn the oven on to 375°F (190°C) to get it up to temperature.
  2. Toss the pork sausage into a big pan and cook it over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring and breaking into bits as it browns. Scoop out the cooked meat and drain off the grease.
  3. Put a tablespoon of butter in the pan and let it melt over medium. In a small bowl, whisk together 10 eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the mix into the pan and gently stir until the eggs are just set.
  4. Grab a 9×13 baking pan and place 6 slices of Texas toast along the bottom. Add a slice of American cheese on top of each piece of bread.
  5. Spread the sausage and scrambled eggs across the bread. Lay another slice of American cheese on top.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix the remaining 8 eggs with 3/4 cup of milk and the mustard powder. Carefully pour the mixture over everything in the pan to soak through.
  7. Place the last 6 slices of Texas toast on top to finish your layers.
  8. Melt the rest of the butter (3 tablespoons) and lightly brush it over the top layer of bread.
  9. Wrap the pan with foil and bake it for 20 minutes.
  10. Take off the foil and put it back in the oven for another 20 minutes until golden.
