Overnight Chile Eggs






This is a favorite Christmas morning dish. It's also good for a lazy weekend morning breakfast/brunch. Just throw it together the night before and bake in the morning!

Overnight Chili Eggs

8 eggs
6 slices white bread
4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened (optional)
½ onion sautéed until soft
1 tube Jimmy Dean Sausage, spicy or regular, cooked and drained
2 cups milk, preferably whole or 2 percent
1 can chopped green chiles
2 cups grated jack or co-jack cheese
1-teaspoon coriander
Salt and Pepper
Salsa & Sour cream

In large bowl, beat the eggs, add milk and seasonings. Butter all of the bread (optional), cut or tear into 1-2”cubes and lay into a greased 9x13 pan. Layer the cooked sausage, onion and green chiles on top. Add grated cheese. Pour the seasoned eggs over all. If you like a little color and flavor, top with salsa (about ½ cup) drizzled over cheese. Cover overnight, or at least 1 hour. Bake uncovered at 300 degrees for 1 hour, until puffed and golden brown.

Serve with salsa and sour cream.
