Sourdough Bread Egg and Sausage Casserole (Cathie's Casserole) image

For years my mom (Cathie) made this for breakfast every Christmas. Mom stopped making it when I moved to another state because my sister didn't like the sausage in it. Now I continue the tradition and make it at home every Christmas morning. This is a satisfying whole meal in one that you can prepare the night before and bake in the morning. Of course, the ingredients can be changed around to suit your taste. Bacon for sausage, sour dough bread for french bread or croissants, thyme for parsley or sage, etc. No meat, extra meat and so on. It is easy and so delicious and great for a crowd for breakfast.

This casserole was a disaster! The bread was soggy and the sausage was overcooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I found this casserole to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or cream next time.

This casserole was easy to make and very satisfying. I used a whole wheat sourdough bread and it turned out great. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of sourdough bread, but this casserole was surprisingly good. The bread was soft and fluffy, and the sausage and eggs were very flavorful.

I've made this casserole several times and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. I like to add some chopped green peppers and onions to the sausage mixture.
