We’ve got a brand new sponsor of the Shotgun Q Club, Salmon’s Meat Products in Luxemburg, WI. So, it’s time to fire up the smokers again and crank out some fresh recipes. This particular recipe could be made in the oven, but why? Give yourself time, this one is an overnighter.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Bread slices – I used thick sliced bread (about 8-9 slices)
- 1/2 pound pork sausage – cooked & cooled
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- 1/2 stick of butter, melted and cooled a bit
- A handful of blueberries
This recipe is for a 9×9 baking pan, if you have a big family, or people over… double the recipe and it’ll squeeze into a 9×13.
The night before, start by browning up the sausage, breaking it up and letting it cool.
Then tear up the bread into small pieces. I had fresh bread, but honestly this works great with bread that’s a bit staler, too. Toss the bread with the sausage to mix it up well.
Next, you’re going to mix together your wet ingredients. Whisk up your eggs until they start to get a little foamy, then add in the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt and whisk it all together. Finally, add in the butter and mix it together well.
Spray your pan with cooking spray. Put the meat & bread mixture into the pan and spread it around. Them carefully pour the egg mixture over the top making sure everything gets nice and wet.
Don’t forget to top with blueberries.
Once done, put some foil over the top and pop it in the refrigerator overnight.
The next morning, take the pan out of the fridge and set it on the counter. You’ll want this to come up to room temp – wait 30-40 minutes. At that point, fire up the smoker (or oven) and get it up to 350 degrees.
Once the smoker is rolling, pop this in and cook for an hour, turning halfway through, until it nice and firm and set in the middle.
Wait 5-10 minutes and serve it warm. It’s plenty sweet, but the sausage cuts the sweet nicely. Serve as is, or with syrup or whipped cream on the side.
