Ingredients

    Olive oil cooking spray
    6 slices Rudi's Gluten Free Multigrain bread (cubed)
    1 T EVOO
    1 box (10 links) Applegate Chicken and Sage Breakfast Sausage, chopped
    1/4 cup finely diced sweet onion or leek
    1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk (can use lowfat milk if not lactose intolerant)
    1 dried chipotle pepper, rehydrated, seeded and diced
    8 large egg whites
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
    2 T finely chopped fresh parsley (or 1 tsp dried)
    2 large plum tomatoes sliced into rounds

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Spray 9"x13" pan with olive oil spray. Line with cubed bread crumbs.

Saute onion in EVOO in a nonstick skillet until translucent then combine with chopped sausage.

Add 1/4 cup coconut milk and chopped chipotle pepper to blender and blend until pepper is finely chopped. Add remaining coconut milk and blend.

Add egg whites, half of the parmesan cheese and the parsley. Combine thoroughly.

Pour over bread mixture, then layer the meat and onion mixture. Place the tomato rounds on top of the mixture, gently pressing them so that the egg mixture covers them as much as possible. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese.

Bake for approx. 40 - 60 minutes, depending on your oven.

Can be served hot from the oven or at room temperature.
