2 C. Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
3 eggs
1 C. salsa

  1. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until no longer pink; drain.
  2. Transfer to the pastry shell.
  3. Sprinkle with half of cheese.
  4. In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs; stir in salsa. Pour over cheese.
  5. Bake at 375º for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted.

French Toast

1 loaf Rustic Italian bread, or the equivalent (heavy bread)
1 egg (2 eggs if making the whole loaf)
Cinnamon-sugar mixture
2 tsp. vanilla
1 C. milk, or more

  1. I whisk my eggs in a 9×9″ cake pan. Then add the cinnamon-sugar (like you use for toast) mixture – I’m guessing 1 tablespoon or more.
  2. Add vanilla, then milk.
  3. Heat frypan or griddle until hot.
  4. Pour a small amount of oil on pan or use Pam.
  5. Dip 1 side of bread in batter, flip over; don’t let it soak. Place on hot griddle.

NOTE — If you are running out of batter and have more to make, just add a little milk as you go.
