Sourdough Breakfast Bake
Quick to make nutritious breakfast for families on the go.
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup sourdough starter/discard
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 of small bell pepper diced
- 1/4 of small onion diced
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup shredded medium cheddar cheese (depending on how cheesy you like it)
- 4 large beaten eggs
- favorite breakfast meat small amount
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Place about 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in cast iron skillet and place on burner with medium heat while you wait for oven to preheat. Using a spoon, spread the oil in your skillet and pour in 1 cup of sourdough starter/discard. You will hear a little sizzle which is good, Lightly salt and pepper the starter to taste. Let sourdough cook in skillet until bubbles form on the top and the top starts drying out. After bubbles form and crust begins to dry out a bit, you can now put the crust in the oven for around 10 minutes to crunch it up a bit before you add the egg mixture.
- Dice pepper and onion.
- In a medium sized bowl place the 4 eggs and whip them up with a fork.
- If you use link sausage like I did (Conecuh), precook it for 1 minute in microwave making sure to pierce both sides of sausage with fork in several places. This helps the grease come out. Just don’t use any raw sausage. Dice the sausage in small pieces.
- Mix together sausage, pepper, onion and 1/2 of the cheese with the beaten eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste being careful not to oversalt because the cheese is salty.
- Pour the egg mixture over crust and spread to cover it well. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese and sprinkle with black pepper. Turn off burner and pop the skillet into the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, depending on how well you want your eggs cooked. I cooked mine well done. Enjoy! Recipe by Carolyn
