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
- Preheat the oven to 400° F
- Cut bread in half, lengthwise, and hollow out the top and bottom. Leave enough that there is still structure to the bread.
- Tear the removed bread in small pieces (and inch or less).
- 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.
- 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.
- Drain the sausage and onions and then add to the bread mixture and mix well.
- Spoon the bread mixture into the bread shells, distributing the filling evenly top and bottom.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the meat and carefully close the sandwich(es) and wrap in foil.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes. If using the French Bread loaf, slice into invdividual servings.
