I’ve never met a breakfast casserole that I didn’t like, and this new recipe is no exception. A bit sweeter than most, this recipe is unique in that it contains apples. If you like sweet & savory combinations, this is probably one that you will enjoy.
Brown sausage in a skillet until cooked; drain.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and salt until well blended.
In another bowl, mix apples, sugar and cinnamon together until well coated.
In a greased 9 x 13" baking dish, place half of the bread cubes followed by half the sausage, half the apples, and and 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
Pour egg mixture over the layers making sure to evenly coat it all with the egg mixture.
Refrigerate overnight, to allow all the bread to soak up a lot of the egg mixture.
In the morning, remove the casserole from the fridge and preheat oven to 325F. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
Cut into 6-8 pieces and served topped with a drizzle of maple syrup if desired.
Note that this one is a make-ahead. It’s best when left to chill overnight, and then it’s ready to pop in the oven the next morning.
