ELEGANT BRUNCH CASSEROLE

Elegant Brunch Casserole image

This is a lovely choice for a Christmas or New Year's brunch or to serve special houseguests. I found the recipe years ago in an old church cookbook, and it's proven to be wonderfully adaptable. You can substitute Canadian bacon or ham for the regular bacon if you prefer and vary the cheeses according to your family's preferences. (Gruyere is great!) If you don't cook with wine, just add more milk mixed with a little water to thin. You can also replace the meat with sauteed mushrooms for a vegetarian version. Please note that it must be refrigerated overnight. Enjoy!

Time 1h30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 loaf French bread, sliced
3 tablespoons butter, plus
more butter, for buttering dish
4 ounces swiss cheese, grated
4 ounces monterey jack cheese, grated
12 slices bacon, diced and fried until crisp
8 large eggs
1 1/3 cups milk
1/3 cup white wine
3 green onions
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup freshly-grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

Grease bottom and sides of 9" x 13" glass casserole dish with butter.
Tear bread into bite-sized pieces and place in dish, arranging so that they form a fairly solid layer but do not overlap (you may not need the whole loaf).
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan; drizzle evenly over bread.
Sprinkle grated Swiss and Monterrey Jack cheeses evenly over bread.
Top cheese layer evenly with cooked bacon bits.
Break eggs into large mixing bowl and beat lightly by hand; add milk, wine, chopped green onion, mustard, black pepper and cayenne, beating again until foamy.
Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole; cover tightly with foil, and refrigerate overnight.
The following day, remove dish from refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Bake, covered with foil, for approximately 45-50 minutes, until eggs are'set' in the center.
Remove from oven and spread sour cream evenly over the top of the casserole; sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Return to oven uncovered; bake an additional 10 minutes or so until lightly-browned.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your casserole the best flavor. If possible, try to use organic or locally sourced ingredients.
Don't Overmix: When mixing the casserole ingredients, be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can make the casserole tough.
Bake Until Golden Brown: The casserole is done baking when it is golden brown on top and bubbly around the edges.
Let it Rest: Before serving, let the casserole rest for a few minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and the casserole to set.
