Rustic Sausage and Egg Casserole

Rustic Sausage and Egg Casserole

Everyone should have a good egg bake recipe up their sleeve. The Rustic Sausage Egg Casserole is ours! 

My husband Dale and I have been together for 20 years. In the beginning, it was about accepting our differences, but after all these years it is about celebrating them.
Dale is a breakfast guy. He likes to take his breakfast to work and eat at his desk. I, on the other hand, am not much for eating in the mornings. Coffee is my jam! it makes me very happy, but Dale hates coffee (GASP).

Over time, I started waking early to make and pack his breakfast so he could take it to work. In turn, He started prepping my coffee the night before and even sets the delay timer. Every morning I have a perfect pot of coffee.

I guess it would be just as easy for him to make his breakfast and for me to make my coffee, but the way we see it is there is love in every bite for him and every cup of coffee for me.

It’s these little things that keep the spark alive in a relationship.
Our Rustic Sausage and Egg Casserole is absolutely delicious. It’s meaty, Cheesy, and hearty. It starts with day old French loaf, or any artisan bread you have on hand. The large pieces of sausage adds to the texture. The tangy mix of cheddar and parmesan cheeses create a crispy crust that is perfect for a family breakfast or a dinner with a salad. Since its just the two of us, we have a lot of leftovers which I pack up for Dale. It’s a win-win!
