Chorizo Breakfast Bubble Bake

I never though there would come a day where I would be struggling to find new breakfast recipe ideas. Sometimes I will search the internet or Pinterest in hopes of finding a recipe that I haven’t tried before. That's how I came across this recipe, this delicious breakfast recipe.

 

Anytime I make a breakfast recipe that requires refrigeration before baking I always seem to forget and try to make it for breakfast in the morning. I think I need to try and figure out a way to label my recipes so that I don't wake up Saturday morning and try and make a recipe that needs refrigeration before baking.

Anyways, this breakfast is delicious and well worth waiting the refrigeration time. It needs at least 4 hours or as long as overnight. I made it the night before and baked it in the morning. Taking the time Friday night to prepare this, especially after a long week, was not something I was looking forward to doing, however, once Saturday morning rolled around it was so worth it. 

Chorizo Breakfast Bubble Bake

Ingredients:

• 10 frozen yeast rolls, thawed but cold
• 1 pound chorizo sausage
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 1 small red pepper, diced
• black pepper, to taste
• 4 ounce can diced green chilies, drained
• 12 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups half and half
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• pinch cayenne pepper
• 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 ounces pepper jack cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cut the rolls into 4 pieces and arrange into a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
3. In a medium skillet, over medium-high heat, cook the chorizo until completely cooked. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chorizo and sprinkle over the rolls.
4. Drain all of the chorizo grease, except for 1 tablespoon. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and add in the green onions and diced peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with black pepper and remove from the heat.
5. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half and all of the seasonings. Stir in the cooked onions and peppers and green chilies.
6. Sprinkle half of the cheese over the rolls and sausage. Pour the egg mixture evenly over top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
8. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature, it will take about 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown and puffy and an inserted toothpick into the middle of the casserole comes out with a few moist crumbs.

Enjoy!!!
