Sausage Egg Squares

In December we were invited to a brunch to celebrate the wedding of some friends.  The event was catered by Lura Hafen and this breakfast casserole was the star!  I loved it and was able to get the recipe from the Mother of the Bride and have made it several times since then.  We had it on Christmas morning, a few days later when friends were visiting before Rob & Tiana's wedding Open House and several times after that.  It's kind of a no-fail recipe; however, make sure and cook it until it is set (I didn't cook it long enough one of the times and it wasn't quite set but still okay.).  It's in the oven as I'm typing this!

                                                           Sausage Egg Squares

          1 lb. ground italian sausage
          1/2 c. onion, chopped
          2 c. small curd cottage cheese (and I don't like cottage cheese but you don't taste it!)
          2 c. cheddar cheese, grated
          6 eggs (or 1/2 c. egg substitute)
          1 c. milk
          1 c. bisquick
          4 oz. can chopped green chiles

           *optional:  mushrooms, 1/2 c. chopped green pepper,

     Directions:  Cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, drain.  Stir in the remaining ingredients.  Pour into a 9x13 pan coated with nonstick cooking spray.  Bake 350 for 35-40 minutes until egg is set.  Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.  Serves 12

                                 I'm about to sit down and enjoy!  Happy eating everyone!
