Egg potato and sausage casserole with cheddar and mustard
Lalkila Kitchen · Eggs · Meat · Western influenced · Contemporary cooking
Bread, potato, egg custard and cheddar make this an oven meal with a Western influence. Choose a clearly labelled fully cooked sausage that fits your household's preferences. Lalkila Kitchen includes meals like this alongside nostalgic recipes because everyday cooking abroad has room for both.
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 3 bread slices, cut into cubes
- 1 cup grated cheddar
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup sliced fully cooked sausage of your choice
- 3 small potatoes, about 300 g total, thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Salt to taste
- A little butter or oil for greasing
Method
- Heat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Grease a baking dish with enough depth to contain the liquid without overflowing.
- Simmer the potato slices in water until just tender, then drain thoroughly. Toss with nutmeg and a little salt.
- Whisk eggs, milk, mustard powder and pepper. Stir in the cheddar, allowing for salt already present in cheese and sausage.
- Put the bread in the dish, add sausage and potato, then pour over the egg mixture. Press the bread down lightly so it absorbs liquid.
- Bake until the custard is set and the centre reaches 74°C/165°F. If the top browns early, cover loosely with foil. Check the centre rather than relying on surface colour.
Cooking notes
Contains eggs, dairy, wheat and mustard; sausage ingredients vary. Fully cooked sausage is specified to remove uncertainty about raw meat. This adaptation par cooks the potato so it does not stay firm under a finished custard.
