Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Grease a 21cm enamel baking dish with a little butter.
- Melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the sausages and onion for 3-5 mins, until golden. Remove from the heat, add the bread, spinach and half the cheese to the pan and toss to combine. Tip into the greased baking dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk and chives.
- Pour over the bread mixture and allow to soak in for 10 mins, pressing down so that everything is well submerged.
- Sprinkle over the rest of the cheese and bake for 20-25 mins until risen and browned. Cool for 5 mins before slicing to serve.
- Tip: This can be prepped the night before, simply follow to the end of step 3, cover the dish and chill. Add an extra 3-5mins onto the cooking time and cook straight from the fridge.
