Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 small onion (diced (about 3/4 cup))
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 16 ounce package of spicy breakfast sausage (Like Jimmy Dean hot)
  • 1/2 loaf of French bread (day old works best!)
  • 7 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cilantro for topping
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 and grease a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray or butter.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Saute the onions with the butter until lightly browned. Add the sausage and cook until no longer pink.
  • Tear or cut the bread into 1 inch chunks and place in the baking dish. Spread the sausage and onion mixture evenly on top of the bread.
  • Crack the eggs into a separate bowl and add the cheese, cayenne, cumin, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Beat with a whisk to combine well. Pour evenly over the sausage.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Let cool slightly, then serve topped with cilantro, sour cream or salsa.
