This weekend was a rare one in that we didn’t have anywhere to be. Regardless, I still like to get up a bit early in the morning, while Cauli enjoys snoozing until I rouse him out of bed with promises of coffee and breakfast.
This Saturday morning I was happy to try a recipe from a fellow food blogger – Deborah of What’s in My Kitchen. She posted a very tasty looking breakfast bake and I knew I had to try it. I am thinking that this would be the perfect breakfast for Christmas morning. You assemble it the night before, refrigerate it, and pop it in the oven the next day.
The recipe came out really well – it was warm, custardy, with a wonderful aroma of cinnamon. I halved Deb’s recipe, used multigrain bread and 1/4 tsp of both cinnamon and allspice. The next time I make it I would use chicken apple sausage (rather than the breakfast links I used this time), butter the bottom of the dish (doh!), and create a more even layer (I felt my results were more bready, rather than custardy, than I would have liked).
This was just as good the next day, warmed in the microwave. Thanks Deb!
I’m so glad you liked this! It’s great when you have company, it’s great when you’re by yourself, it’s great with just about ANYthing you can throw in it. That chicken apple sausage sounds wonderful!
