Story

I'm a firm believer that you can never have too much cheese and I will often add an extra cup and toss it with the bread and sausage mixture before filling the bread shells.

Ingredients

  • 1 loaf French Bread (or ~6 Individual Hoagie Rolls)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/4 cup Whole Milk
  • ½ tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 pound Italian Sausage
  • ¾ cup Choped Onion
  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
  • Cooking Oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400° F
  2. Cut bread in half, lengthwise, and hollow out the top and bottom. Leave enough that there is still structure to the bread.
  3. Tear the removed bread in small pieces (and inch or less).
  4. In a large bowl beat the eggs, milk, pepper, and salt. Add the bread to the bowl and then mix until all of the bread is well coated.
  5. Add a little oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Begin to sautee the onions, and after a few minutes add the Italian sauge and cook until all the sauge has just turned brown.
  6. Drain the sausage and onions and then add to the bread mixture and mix well.
  7. Spoon the bread mixture into the bread shells, distributing the filling evenly top and bottom.
  8. Sprinkle the cheese over the meat and carefully close the sandwich(es) and wrap in foil.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. If using the French Bread loaf, slice into invdividual servings.
