  • Green onion, chopped

Instructions

1) Prep everything

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  3. Slice the hunter sausages.
  4. Grate the cheese (if needed) and chop the parsley and green onion.

2) Build the breakfast bake

  1. Arrange the bread slices in a single layer in a baking dish.
  2. Add one slice of cheese on top of each piece of bread.
  3. Distribute the cooked bacon and sliced sausages evenly over the cheese layer.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and black pepper.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
  6. Finish with grated cheese, parsley, and green onion.

3) Bake

  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.

4) Serve

  • Rest for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

  • Add fresh fruit on the side for a lighter balance.
  • Pair with a green salad for a brunch-style plate.
  • Serve with coffee or tea to round out the meal.

Cooking Tips and Easy Variations

  • Try different cheeses such as cheddar, mozzarella, gouda, or a spicy blend for extra flavor.
  • For heat, mix in red pepper flakes or a pinch of chili powder with the eggs.
  • Swap bacon for turkey bacon, or use vegetarian sausage to make it meat-free (choose vegetarian cheese if needed).
