Sausage and Brie Breakfast Casserole - SO amazing! Make this the night before and bake in the morning. Sausage, brie, parmesan, white bread, eggs, whipping cream, milk, dry mustard, salt. This is our favorite breakfast casserole. A MUST for Christmas morning!
Trim rind from Brie. Cut cheese into cubes and set aside.
Cook sausage in a large skillet until no longer pink, drain fat.
Cut crust from bread slices and place in the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch pan. Top with cooked sausage, brie cubes and grated Parmesan cheese.
Whisk together 5 eggs, 2 cups whipping cream, milk, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Pour evenly over cheeses. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours.
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Remove casserole from refrigerator and uncover.
Whisk together remaining 2 eggs and 1 cup of whipping cream. Pour over chilled casserole.
Bake casserole uncovered for 1 hour, or until set.
Notes:
I used a roll of Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage for the sausage in the casserole.
For the bread, I used just plain Sunbeam white bread.
This casserole needs to refrigerate for 8 hours before baking, so it is perfect for Christmas morning!
Can Sausage & Brie Breakfast Casserole be frozen? Yes! Assemble the casserole and instead of refrigerating, cover and freeze. When ready to bake, thaw completely, add the additional eggs and heavy cream mixture, and bake.
You can also freeze the baked casserole for later. Let the casserole cool completely and cover with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze. When ready to serve, thaw and reheat in the microwave or covered in the oven.
