Ingredients

  • Artisan/Homemade Sausage
  • sliced de Onion
  • Eggs
  • Grated Parmesan cheese (or aged cheese)
    Substitui por: queijo minas curado ralado
  • Milk
  • Olive oil
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Bread

Instructions

1
refogar

Heat a good amount of olive oil over medium-low heat and add the sausage. Cook slowly so the fat melts well, avoiding large chunks of fat.

10min

Dica: The goal is to melt the fat and brown the sausage without drying it out too much, since it will go into the casserole filling.

2
refogar

Add the sliced onion to the skillet with the sausage and increase the heat. Stir until the onion is softened, without needing to fry or brown it.

3min

Dica: Take advantage of the flavor left in the skillet from the sausage.

3
misturar

Turn off the heat and add the bread to the mixture in the skillet. Stir quickly just enough for the bread to absorb the flavors and fat, without toasting or browning.

1min

Dica: Older bread absorbs the ingredients better. Let the bread sit for a moment to fully absorb the flavors.

4
bater

In a separate bowl, prepare the liquid mixture by whisking the milk, eggs, half of the reserved Parmesan cheese, and a little pepper. Beat well until smooth, ensuring the eggs are fully incorporated.

2min

Dica: Be cautious with the salt, as the sausage and cheese are already salty. It is better to leave it slightly lighter on salt initially.

5
misturar

Pour the liquid mixture over the bread and sausage in the skillet, distributing evenly so the bread re-moistens and swells up.

1min

Dica: Use a ladle to ensure even distribution of the liquid.

6
assar

Transfer the mixture to a suitable baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top to form a browned crust.

1min

Dica: Browning the cheese on top gives a tastier finish.

7
assar

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (medium) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole has risen and the surface is nicely browned.

35min
180°C

Dica: Watch the oven closely to check for the point of rising and the finished top.
