Рецепт Chicken Sausage, Apple and Cheddar Breakfast Bake #SundaySupper
Celebrate the arrival of Spring with this sweet and savory breakfast bake! Chicken Sausage, Apple and Cheddar Bake is the perfect dish to satisfy everyone's tastes.
This week's Sunday Supper theme is WELCOME SPRING and I am the host! I'm so excited because Spring is one of my favorite seasons! I can't think of a better dish to celebrate Spring than this delicious breakfast bake. It's a great choice for a lazy Sunday morning or to honor Mom on her special day!
How was this recipe born? Leftovers.
Yup. I had some Chicken sausage leftover and a half a loaf of bread that was getting stale. When ever I have stale bread, I generally think of three things; bread crumbs, french toast, and breakfast bakes. Breakfast bake won this time. I know apples and sausage are not ingredients that scream "Spring," but for me, anything with eggs is fair game. Spring also makes me think about brunch. Specifically brunch for Mother's Day or Easter...which are both Spring occasions.
I adore dishes that have both a sweet and savory component to them and this breakfast bake fits that bill. I used Granny Smith apples in here, to keep the sweetness subtle. The chicken sausage works so well with the apples too!
This dish can be made ahead if you like. Just assemble everything in the baking dish, cover with foil and refrigerate overnight. Take it out of the refrigerator for about a half and hour and let it sit at room temperature before baking.
If you are a sweet and savory fan like me, give this breakfast bake a try! I think you will love it!
