SAUSAGE AND EGG CASSEROLE WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND MOZZARELLA
Today when I went to my son's school to pick him up, I was approached by his teacher, miss Linda. She told every parents to bring egg's shells to school, they can be broken in bits but they need to be washed first. They need as many egg's shells as possible for the school project. They are going to use broken egg's shells for painting! I have no idea how they are going to look like.
I was planning to cook this recipe for tomorrow brunch but because the school need egg shells, so I cook it today. This is my first time to try it. Just by reading the name of the recipe, I just know that it will taste yummy. What can be wrong when you use sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, and cheese? I was right. It taste amazing! I don't have Italian sausage on hand, so I just use pork sausage and it still taste so good, this is really a great recipe for sunday brunch or to invite friends over.
A satisfying, easy dish that's also versatile: Accompany with sliced melon and some assorted pastries for brunch, or with a green salad and warm focaccia for dinner.
