On Sundays I love to make my husband a hot breakfast. This one was adapted from a Taste of Home sausage casserole recipe. My husband loves mexican dishes so I decided to add some salsa to this dish for a change. If you don’t have salsa verde use your favorite standard salsa.

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Ingredients

• 2 slices whole wheat bread ( I use the heels of the bread, often place them in the freezer as we go through the bread & toast  them right before cutting them up for this dish)**** if you are trying to make this dish light you can use light bread (35 kcals a slice)
• 4 links or patties breakfast pork sausage (Or morning star vegetarian sausage)
• 1/2 cup shredded mexican blend cheese ( I love aldi’s fit and active)
• 1/4 cup of Salsa Verde (we like Guy’s)

• 3 eggs  (or 3/4 cup of egg substitute)
• 1 cup skim milk
• 1/2 to 1 teaspoon Badia Fajita Seasoning
  

• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Toast bread lightly cut bread into 1-in. cubes.

Place in a cooking sprayed 8-in. square baking dish.

In a small skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain.

Cube the sausage and sprinkle the sausage and cheese over bread cubes.

In a small bowl, whisk the eggs or egg substitute, milk, salsa, fajita seasoning, salt and pepper.Pour over the sausage and cheese.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes or until puffed and golden. Yield: 4 servings.
