Sausage Bread

Great little bread to have for breakfast. Freezes well for fast morning getaways.

We just came back from Missouri where we visited our families. While there we had about 6-9″ of snow and temperatures around 11° in the morning. I was sitting with my grandmother (she will be 97 in May) one day watching the snow come down by the bucket fulls and wishing I could click my ruby tennis shoes together like Dorothy and be back in Texas were it was at least in the 40’s. I didn’t have a warm coat or gloves and was desperate enough I bought some work gloves at the grocery for 99 cents.

This is a nice bread to have on hand for a cold morning . I have been making this sausage bread for years. It is great with a cup of tea, hot chocolate, coffee, coke or just about any beverage.

When my kids were all still at home, I use to have this bread in my freezer and they could eat it as a snack or for breakfast along with eggs. One of my sons, always had two eggs, almost every morning before school. He never ate the yolks. So, when he was finished with his breakfast, there staring up from the plate were these two big yellow “eyes”.

This bread is so easy to make. If you like cooking ahead, like me, cook up a bunch of breakfast sausage and freeze it in portions to make this bread and then this is a cinch to throw together. This recipe can also be made into muffins.

Add some fruit, eggs and you have a nourishing breakfast.

What more could you ask for, bread, sausage and a fried egg.

The ingredients are made up of Tabasco, Swiss cheese, mayonnaise, parsley, sausage, Parmesan cheese and Bisquick Baking Mix.

After it is all mixed together it gets a brush of beaten egg on top.

Freezes beautifully.

Sausage Bread

1 lb. “hot” breakfast sausage
1/2 c. onion, chopped
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. Swiss cheese
1 egg, beaten
1/4 tsp. Tabasco pepper sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. fresh parsley
2 C. Bisquick baking mix
2/3 c. milk
1/4 c. mayonnaise
1 egg yolk, for brushing on top

Brown the sausage and onion in a skillet. Drain well and cool slightly.

Mix the mayonnaise, milk, 1 beaten egg, salt, Tabasco sauce. Add in the cooled browned sausage and onion mixture. Stir in the parsley, salt, Bisquick Baking Mix until you have a fairly thick batter. Stir in the Parmesan and Swiss cheese.

Spread mixture into a greased 9 x 11″ or 9″ square pan.

Beat the 1 egg yolk with 1 teaspoon of water and brush over the top. Bake at 400° for about 30 minutes or until nicely browned.

If you freeze for later use, wrap in individual pieces of plastic wrap and put in Ziploc bag. When you want a snack, just pop in the microwave.
