Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs whisked
  • 3 Cloves of Garlic minced
  • 2 Pork Sausages meat removed from the casing
  • 5 Cups Bread Cubes cut from a good, dense loaf of bread (not the kind with a bunch of holes in it)
  • 2 and 2/4 Cups Milk
  • 1 Cup Grated Aged Gouda
  • 1 Cup Grated White Cheddar Cheese
  • 3.4 Ounces Sun-Dried Tomatoes julienne-cut
  • 1 Teaspoon Fresh Parsley chopped
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Rosemary
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the pork sausage in a small frying pan over medium heat, stirring every minute, until just cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large bowl, mix together the eggs, milk, rosemary, salt, 1/4 teaspoon of the black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of the fresh parsley. Add the bread, garlic, sausage, cheddar, and 3/4 cup of the gouda. Mix until the bread pieces are soft and wet. You may want to let them sit in the bowl for 5 minutes to help with the absorption if they're not soaked through right away.
  3. Pour/scoop the mixture into a greased 9 x 13-inch rectangular or 10-inch circular casserole dish. Sprinkle the top with the remaining black pepper, fresh parsley, and gouda. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the tips of the exposed bread cubes turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes before serving.
