Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Remove potatoes from bag and place in a colander. Rinse and drain well. Using a clean dish towel, place potatoes in towel and wring dry.
- Divide potatoes among 4 ramekins. The ramekins I used were 5 1/2" rounds that were 2" deep. I got around 3/4 cup of potatoes into each ramekin.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat then add sausage. Cook until done, about 5 minutes.
- Add flour and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes.
- Add milk slowly, stirring until incorporated. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often, until thickened.
- Pour 3/4 cup gravy into each ramekin over the potatoes.
- Crack one egg into each ramekin, on top of the gravy and place into oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until egg white is set and yolk is still runny.
- Note: Each oven bakes differently. Watch your eggs closely and adjust cooking time if needed.
Tips:
- For the best results, use day-old bread. This will help the bread to absorb the egg mixture evenly and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- If you don't have day-old bread, you can toast fresh bread before using it. This will help to firm it up and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your bake. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables. Any type of vegetable can be used in this bake.
- Serve the bake immediately, or let it cool slightly before serving. It can also be made ahead of time and reheated in the oven or microwave.
Conclusion:
Tuscan brunch bake is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its simple ingredients and hearty flavor, Tuscan brunch bake is sure to become a family favorite.
