This is not my recipe but one from Jimmy Dean and it is too good not to share. Best breakfast casserole by far. I have been asked to make this for many potlucks and many dinners served at my home. It's not just for breakfast anymore. If you love sweet and savory, you'll love this recipe. Recipe from Jimmy Dean.

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large golden delicious apples, peeled, chopped
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
8 eggs
3 c milk
1 tsp vanilla
8 c french bread cubes (¾-inch pieces)
1 or 2 pkg jimmy dean maple flavor pork sausage roll, cooked, crumbled and drained
2 c shredded cheddar cheese, divided
warm maple syrup, optional
********about the 1 or 2 packages of sausage. the recipe calls for 1 but i use 2 because i like a lot of meat in the casserole. some breakfast casseroles tend to be custard like because of the bread and using more meat helps with that.********

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Toss apples with sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • 2. Beat eggs, milk and vanilla in large bowl with wire whisk until well blended. Add bread cubes, sausage, apple mixture and 1-½ cups cheese; stir gently until evenly coated.
  • 3. Spoon into lightly greased 13x9-inch baking dish; top with remaining ½ cup cheese.
  • 4. Bake 40-45 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting into 12 squares to serve. ***Some serve with warm maple syrup, but I think it's over kill on the sweetness scale.***
  • 5. ***Cook's Tips: Make-Ahead Maple Breakfast Casserole: Assemble casserole as directed. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, uncover and bake 50-55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean.***

The casserole was a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk.

This casserole was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less maple syrup next time.

I added a few extra ingredients to this casserole, such as diced bell peppers and onions. It was a great way to use up some leftover vegetables.

This casserole is the perfect make-ahead breakfast. I usually make it on the weekend and then reheat it during the week.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, so I substituted ground turkey in this recipe. It turned out great!

This casserole is so easy to make and it's so delicious. I love that I can make it ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven in the morning.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a winner. The only thing I do differently is that I use a different type of cheese. I like to use a sharp cheddar cheese.

This was an absolutely delicious breakfast casserole! The flavors of the maple sausage, apples, and cheese all blended together perfectly. I especially loved the crispy breadcrumb topping.
