So here my suggestion for a hearty breakfast to keep you going.
Blarney Breakfast Bake
Ingredients:
1 pound sausagemeat
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
1 large onion, chopped
10 eggs
3 cups milk (regular or 2%)
2 tsp mustard powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
6 cups cubed stale bread
1 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
4 ozs shredded Cheddar cheese
4 ozs shredded Monterey Jack
Method:
In a large skillet, cook the sausage, mushrooms and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, mustard powder, salt and pepper.
In a greased 13" x 9" baking dish, layer half of the bread cubes, tomatoes, cheeses and sausage mixture. Repeat layers. Pour egg mixture over the top.
Bake, uncovered, at 325°F for 50-55 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
Yield: 12 servings.
