Brie & Sausage Breakfast Casserole (Treasure Trove #11)
Oh my, this entry from my treasure trove of lost and newly found recipes (source unknown) looks like it would definitely be a crowd-pleasing brunch dish. Despite evidence to the contrary, I reduced the calories and fat content with the use of half-and-half instead of whipping cream which I thought was pure excess, especially when combined with low-fat milk. (Times have been estimated). Enjoy!
