Polenta Breakfast Bake
In the spirit of multi-denomenational eating… Let’s go gluten full!
This is a nice breakfast that can be made ahead or prepped the night before.
I use it a good way use extra sausages or flavors of sausages I don’t like, throw in some veggies to make it “healthy”

Instructions

Remove from heat. Add cheeses; stir until cheeses melt. Place the polenta mixture in a large bowl; let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in pepper sauce and eggs. Add sausage mixture; stir well to combine. Spread polenta mixture into a 4-quart glass or ceramic broiler-safe baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cool to room temperature. Cover surface with plastic wrap; refrigerate overnight.

Notes

OR make the recipe straight, cut into 8 pieces, freeze each separately.
Reheat in a 200 degree oven, until warm.
I now love putting halved cherry tomatoes on my frittatas and oven bakes to have them char under the heat! Squee!
