Instructions

Dice the bread into small, bite-sized items. Chop up the onion and bell peppers and mince the garlic. Grate the cheese.

Combine collectively the eggs, cottage cheese and milk.

Assemble the casserole by flippantly greasing a 9×13 pan. Add a layer of the cubed bread. Then add a layer of the sausage/vegetable mixtures. Pour the egg combination over every little thing. Then prime with the cheese.

Cowl and refrigerate in a single day. You possibly can refrigerate this raw casserole for wherever from half-hour to 24 hours as wanted. However I most frequently refrigerate for 8-10 hours, as I’ll make this the night time earlier than I plan to bake it.

Bake at 350°F (177°C) for 35-40 minutes. High with a handful of chives or parsley for those who like. Enable to chill for 10-Quarter-hour earlier than slicing in it.

Ideas for Making

• You need to use any bread for this recipe. I most frequently use no matter I’ve available, so it’s normally sourdough or a honey wheat. You’ll solely want 3-4 slices of bread.
• I like to combine the eggs, cottage cheese and milk in a blender so the cottage cheese actually will get blended in. However you can even whisk by hand in a mixing bowl. Simply make sure that to interrupt up the egg yolks properly.
• You possibly can substitute the sausage for one more floor meat like beef or turkey for those who like.
• If you wish to add extra greens to this, like mushrooms or zucchini, be happy!
• Save any leftovers by protecting the casserole pan in plastic wrap or aluminum foil within the fridge for a minimum of 3 days. Rewarm within the microwave.
