Number Of Ingredients 13

Oil
2 cups leeks, cut in rings, rinsed thoroughly
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound ground pork sausage
1/2 loaf French baguette
1 cup grated Cheddar
1 cup pepper jack cheese
6 each large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a heavy bottomed skillet on medium-high heat. Saute the leeks with a pinch of salt and pepper, red pepper flakes, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne. When the leeks are translucent raise the heat to high and add the sausage and cook for 8 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool.
  • In a separate bowl whisk the eggs together with the cream, milk, the remaining cayenne, a pinch of black pepper and salt.

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • The next morning remove from refrigerator. Put in the middle of the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until a knife is removed cleanly from the middle. Remove from oven and allow the casserole to stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

This casserole is a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I always have some mashed potatoes left over after a holiday dinner, and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a big fan of sausage, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The sausage was cooked perfectly, and it didn't have a strong flavor.
