Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground sausage
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large red pepper, finely chopped
- 4 whole green onions, finely sliced, plus more for garnish
- 5 large bread rolls
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground sausage and cook until no longer pink.
- Stir in chopped onion and red pepper. Sauté until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Cut a hole in the top of each bread roll, removing the soft inside to form a hollow shell. Be careful not to puncture the bottom or sides.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, green onions, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
- Fold the cooled sausage mixture into the egg mixture, combining evenly.
- Place the hollowed-out bread rolls on your prepared baking sheet. Fill each roll with the egg and sausage mixture, leaving a little room at the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, top with remaining cheddar cheese, and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- If the bread browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Garnish with additional green onions and serve warm with a fresh fruit salad.
