Pajama and Breakfast Bunko

As I've said before, a group of present and past Van Winkle teachers get together once a month for Bunko! We always have so much fun visiting, venting, and catching up. This month was my month to host. I decided on a relaxed pajamas and breakfast bunko night. It was a good choice, if I do say so myself! Everyone wore their pj's, and I served breakfast food. I love breakfast food, so I was happy. I rarely fix breakfast because I get up so early for school and it's just Russ and me. Cereal or Pop Tarts is our breakfast of choice. So, I really enjoyed tonight. Russ was playing with his camera and snapped a few shots of the spread. Unfortunately, he ran away from home while all the girls came over, and we weren't able to get a group picture.

My dishtowel that Russ's sister made for me. Love it!

For the main dish, I fixed a breakfast casserole. It was in the oven during this photo shoot, so we don't have a picture of it. However, I will share the recipe. It's fabulous!

Breakfast Casserole

6 slices white bread, no crust and torn into small pieces
1/2 stick butter
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
5 eggs beaten well
2 cups half and half
1 lb. browned sausage

1 tsp. dry mustard


Melt butter in a 9 x 13 dish. Layer bread, cooked sausage, and cheese. Mix half and half with beaten eggs, salt, and dry mustard. Pour over layers. Chill overnight. Bake at 350 for about 50 minutes.
