I am responsible for the food for a small group of women getting together on MOnday morning. Does anyone have any easy but yummy brunch recipies? Many thanks in advance to those who post!

I love this recipe because you make it ahead then just pop it in the oven. It is also easily changed, I have omitted the meat and done all veggies (onion, peppers, whatever you like, just saute them first) or I do a combo of meat and veg. You can also cut down on the fat by using egg beaters instead of whole eggs if you want. I believe I got this recipe from Epicurious.com

CHEESE AND SAUSAGE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

8 white bread slices, cut into cubes
1 pound bulk pork sausage, crumbled and cooked
1 1/2 cups grated sharp cheddar
10 large eggs
2 cups milk
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon salt
Pepper

Grease 9x13-inch glass baking dish. Place bread in prepared dish. Top with sausage and cheese. Beat together eggs and next three ingredients. Season with pepper. Pour over sausage mixture. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Chill.)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake casserole until puffed and center is set, about 50 minutes. Cut into squares.

Serves 8 to 10.
