This weeks recipe is one that really reminds me of my mom, becasue she alwasy made this bread for our familys Christmas morning brunch. I love the way that it makes the house smell when it is in the oven baking. Even though it’s called “breakfast” bread, I have made it for an appetizer when we are entertaining.

Recipe: Breakfast Sausage Bread

2 loaves (1 lb each) frozen white bread dough, thawed
1/2 lb.mild pork sausage
1/2 lb. hot pork sausage

1/2 c. chopped onion
3 eggs
2 1/2 c. (10 oz.) shredded mozzarella chesse
1 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tsp. dried rosemary, crushed
1 tsp. garlic powder

Instructions

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook and crumble sausage. Add mushrooms and onion. Cook and stir until the sausage is browned and vegetables are tender; drain. Let cool.
Beat 1 egg and set it to the side.
To the sausage mixture, add 2 eggs, cheese and seasonings; mix well.

Quick Notes

I usually brown the sausage and saute the onion and mushrooms the day before and stick it in the refrigerator. If you halve the recipe, it serves about 10.

Meal type: breakfast

I hope that you all enjoy this recipe as much as our family has for so many years.
