If you are expecting a group of hungry people for brunch tomorrow, this egg recipe from …Bon Appetit …is a great thing to serve…

It will feed up to 8 people or fewer with leftovers.

The list of equipment and ingredients needed to make this dish are at the end of this video

*******

Start by Preheating your oven to 375�.
Smear 1 Tablespoon of Butter on a glass baking dish measuring
...13 inches long …by 9 inches wide by… 2inches deep.
Put it to one side

*************
Let’s get the first five ingredients prepared.
Peel and chop 1/2 cup of shallots.
Peel and mince 2 cloves of garlic.
Drain 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes on a paper towel…They too need get chopped up.
Chop 4 tablespoons of washed parsley.
With a knife…cut the sausage casing lengthwise and …
then just peel them off.
Set all this aside for the moment!

****************
Preheat your nonstick pan… over medium heat.
Fry the sausage until its browned and cooked through…this should take about 10 minutes.
Be sure to keep… breaking it up… Into small pieces… with back of a fork.

******************

Add the shallots and garlic…
to the pan and continue cooking for another 3 minutes.

****************
Now add the sun-dried tomatoes and …half…of the*parsley*. Save the rest for later.

****************
Give everything a stir…for about 1 minute.
Spread the sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish.
If you want… you can do all of this 1 day ahead…Cover it… and put it in the refrigerator until tomorrow.

**************
Next…Separate 3 large eggs.
Separating means we break open the egg… and let the white part… slip into a bowl… and put the yolks into a larger mixing bowl.
You can freeze the whites …and add them to your next omelet.

**********
Now add 5 more whole eggs…
1 cup of 1/2 and 1/2
And 1 cup of whipping cream … whisk everything together.
Add…1 and 1/2 cups…of grated mozzarella cheese
and …1/2 teaspoon of salt …
Blend it all together really well.
Pour the egg mixture over sausage mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the top.
Then sprinkle on the rest of the parsley.
Bake this for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
When you insert a knife into the center it should come out clean, without anything sticking to the knife.
Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Add some fruit and a bagel and you’ve got yourself some big ole compliments coming your way!
Enjoy!
