- Step 1
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F.
- Step 2
- Prepare the following, adding each to a 9x13-inch baking dish or other 3-quart baking dish as it is completed: Cut 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes into 1-inch chunks, halve and thinly slice 1 medium red onion, thinly slice 1 medium bunch scallions, then add the white and light green parts to the baking dish and reserve the dark green parts for later.
- Step 3
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper to the baking dish and toss to coat. Remove the casings from 1 pound breakfast sausage if needed. Pinch off 1-inch pieces, scatter over the potatoes and onions, and toss to combine.
- Step 4
- Bake, stirring the sausage and potatoes halfway through, until the potatoes are almost tender, 25 to 30 minutes total. Meanwhile, place 12 large eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Step 5
- Remove the baking dish from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and potatoes and tilt the baking dish to make sure it settles evenly. Sprinkle evenly with the reserved scallion greens.
- Step 6
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake until the eggs are just set, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving with toasted, buttered English muffins and hot sauce, if desired.

Ingredients:
- Cooking spray or oil
- 1 pound day-old French or Italian bread, cut into 3/4-inch cubes (8 loosely packed cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 large leeks, white and light green parts only, cleaned and thinly sliced into half moons
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
- 10 ounces bacon (about 10 slices), diced
- 12 large eggs
- 3 cups whole milk
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cups grated fontina cheese (about 8 ounces)

- Fiber: 1.8 g
- Cholesterol: 0 mg
- Step 1
- Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish (or another 3-quart baking dish) with oil or cooking spray. Place the cubed bread in the baking dish in an even layer; set aside.
- Step 2
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the leeks and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
- Step 3
- Add the bacon to the skillet and sauté until the fat is almost all rendered out and it begins to get crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Step 4
- Whisk the eggs, milk, mustard, thyme, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
- Step 5
- Spread the bacon over the bread cubes, followed by the leeks. Sprinkle the fontina on top, then pour the egg mixture over the entire thing. Press down on the top gently, so that all of the bread cubes get soaked a bit with the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate overnight or if baking immediately, let the casserole rest on the counter while you preheat the oven.
- Step 6
- Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 350°F. If you made the casserole ahead, take it out of the refrigerator so it can warm on the counter while the oven heats.
- Step 7
- Bake uncovered until the edges are bubbling and the top begins to brown, 50 to 65 minutes. The baking time will be greatly dependent on the depth of dish you use. Check the interior with a knife; if it comes out clean, the custard is baked through. (Cover with aluminum foil near the end of baking if the top is already browned.) Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
