Sherris Breakfast Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Flatten rolls in bottom of greased 9x13 baking pan or casserole dish.
• Brown sausage and drain.
• Add onion and mushrooms to sausage and pour mixture over rolls.
• Add cheese on top of sausage.
• At this point you may continue or casserole may be refrigerated overnight.
• Beat eggs and pour on top and cover with foil.
• Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes; brown last 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let set 5 minutes.
• If you are freezing, allow casserole to cool and freeze. To bake, place in oven directly from freezer but allow about 50-60 minutes for baking.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 500 degrees. Spread croissants on a large baking sheet and toast, cut side up, until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes (watch carefully to see that they do not burn). Let cool, then tear into large bite-size pieces.
• In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add sliced scallions and sausage meat; cook, breaking up meat with a fork, until mixture is well browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in sage, and remove from heat.
• In a large bowl, toss together croissants and sausage mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, 1 1/2 cups cheese, salt and pepper.
• Lightly oil a 9- x 13-inch baking dish. Turn croissant mixture into pan, spreading it out evenly over the bottom. Pour custard into pan, pressing croissants down gently to help absorb the liquid. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
• When you're ready to bake the casserole, heat oven to 350 degrees. Scatter the remaining grated cheese over the top of the casserole. Transfer to oven and bake until casserole is golden brown and firm to the touch, 45 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes. Garnish with sliced scallion tops before serving.
