Breakfast Strada

Wednesday, September 23, 2009

My parents recently celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary and I wanted to surprise them with something special. They had gone away for the weekend and what would be better than to come home with a home cooked meal. My parents love this Breakfast Strada and I figured they would be happy that they didn't have to make dinner when they got home.

Breakfast Strada

1 lb. sweet sausage, crumbled, cooked and drained
6 slices of white bread, cubed
4-5 eggs
1 c. grated cheddar cheese
2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. dry mustard

Brown, crumble and drain sausage. Remove crust from bread and cut into cubes. Mix eggs, milk and mustard. Layer bread, sausage and cheese in a 9x9 casserole or two quart round casserole dish. Pour milk/egg mixture into casserole, cover and refrigerate overnight. Bake covered in 325-350 degree oven for 50-60+. Uncover last 20 minutes. You can double this recipe - just put in two casserole dishes. Cook time is a half hour to an hour longer.

Enjoy!

The Unpizza

This is one of our family secrets. This pizza is great because you can either eat it hot out of the oven or cold the next day and it travels well. The Fontina gives it a nice nutty taste and compliments the mozzarella and sausage. If you're looking for something different, this is the way to go.

The Unpizza

1 pizza dough

1 lb. Sweet Italian Sausage - cooked and drained

6 eggs

8 oz. Fontina cheese

8 oz. mozzarella cheese

2 tbsp. Parmesan/Romano cheese

1 tbsp. Italian Seasoning

Preheat oven at 400 degrees. Cook and drain sausage on a paper towel.

Coat 8x8 baking dish with olive oil. Stretch dough over dish - leave about 4" of dough overlapping each side.

In medium bowl, mix eggs, Fontina, Mozzarella, Parmesan/Romano and Italian Seasoning.

Pour half of the egg mixture onto pizza dough. Add sausage and pour remaining egg mixture to dough. Fold dough to cover top and seal.

Bake for 20 minutes or until top is golden brown. Let sit for about 15 minutes and remove from baking dish.

Enjoy!

Sausage Bread

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

This is a real simple recipe which can be a big crowd pleaser. We serve this recipe for any gathering, whether it be for a holiday or to watch a football game with some close friends.

Sausage Bread

1 pizza dough
1 lb. sweet sausage, cooked, crumbled and drained
1 egg
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/8 c. Parmesan/Romano cheese
1 c mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook and drain sausage. Spread out dough to a rectangle on a floured surface. Mix egg and garlic powder in a small bowl and spread over dough. Add sausage, mozzarella and parm/romano cheese. Roll the dough jelly-roll style and seal - make sure you pinch the ends.

Place dough on a cookie sheet (I usually line with foil and spray with non-stick spray) seam side down. Cook for about 30 minutes or until dough is golden brown.

Enjoy!
