How to Make Eggs Portugal

  1. Fry 1 pound Portuguese sausage (or your favorite sausage) until browned and crumbled. Set aside.
  2. Grease a 9x12 inch baking dish.
  3. Layer 6 cups of cubed day-old bread evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese) over the bread, followed by the cooked sausage.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 1/2 cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, sausage, and cheese layers.
  7. Cover the baking dish and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  8. In a separate bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can of condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup of drained and chopped mushrooms, and 1/4 cup of dry vermouth.
  9. Pour the mushroom mixture evenly over the egg mixture in the baking dish.
  10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-75 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
  11. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
