Christmas Morning Breakfast Casserole

I love breakfast casseroles.  The trouble is, most of them have a ton of cheese in them.  Don't get me wrong.  I love cheese.  LOVE.  But my String Beane is very allergic to milk so, no cheese here.

I also love sausage.  It is by far my favorite breakfast meat.  I really like it when a little bit of syrup gets on it.  Sort of like the McGriddle concept. 

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest and thought I could adapt it to fit both my loves.  Breakfast casserole and sausage. 

This is basically a French Toast Casserole with some sausage in it.  Yum.  It turned out so good!  My little beanes liked it too.  Butter beane liked it the best and he is a decidedly picky eater.  I decided that it would be a great thing to have on Christmas morning.

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
1 loaf of French Bread, cubed
6 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup of Almond Milk
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pound of sausage, browned and drained

Place the bread cubes in a 9x13 dish.  Sprinkle the sausage over the top of the bread crumbs.  Mix the eggs, almond milk, syrup and cinnamon together in a bowl and pour over the bread/sausage mixture.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. 

Bake 45 minutes to 1 hour at 350 degrees. 


This will be a yummy and easy Christmas breakfast for us.  What do you do to make Christmas morning easy?

    Love the sausage right in it! We dip ours in syrup anyway, so one step saved :) Thanks for sharing at Church Supper. Have a blessed week, and Merry Christmas!

    YUM! We have a traditional breakfast of cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate but I bet my family would love to have this as an addition to tradition!
