Ingredients

1 1/2 lb bulk pork sausage
10 English muffins, diced (about 12 cups)
4 medium green onions, sliced (1/4 cup)
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries
8 eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (12 oz)

Steps

1

Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 12-inch skillet, cook sausage over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink; drain.
2

Spread half of the diced muffins in pan; top with half of the sausage, half of the onions and half of the cranberries. Repeat layers with remaining muffins, sausage, onions and cranberries.
3

In large bowl, beat eggs, milk, sour cream, salt and pepper with wire whisk until well blended; pour over mixture in pan. Sprinkle cheese over top. Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray; place sprayed side down over pan. Cover; refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.

Heat oven to 325°F. Bake covered 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 30 to 40 minutes longer or until top is golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into squares.
