Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ½ cup salted butter, divided

  • 5 slices white sandwich bread, or as needed

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage

  • 12 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies

Directions

  1. Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 1/2x11-inch baking dish with butter.

  2. Use remaining butter to coat 1 side of each bread slice. Place bread butter-side down in the prepared pan until entire bottom is covered in a single layer.

  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned, crumbly, and almost fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle sausage over bread in an even layer.

  4. Beat eggs, sour cream, and pepper with either a whisk or electric beater. Pour evenly over sausage.

  5. Mix Cheddar cheese and green chiles together in a separate bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the egg mixture. Cover and put in the refrigerator for 8 hours, to overnight.

  6. To bake: Do not preheat the oven. Place, uncovered, in an oven and set to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake until brown on top, about 1 hour.

Recipe Tips

You can use hot or regular sausage. Try not to have big chunks of sausage — break it up in the pan as much as you can.
