Ingredients

Units: US Metric
  • 5 small sausage links, cooked and finely chopped
  • 4 standard eggs, beaten
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly-ground black pepper

  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese

Make it lactose-friendly
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterrey Jack cheese → lactose-free or aged hard cheese (naturally lower lactose)
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil

Swaps are suggestions, not medical advice. Check labels if lactose is a serious issue for you.

Steps

  1. Combine sausage and bacon. In another bowl, combine ricotta, eggs, butter, salt, pepper, and cornbread.
  2. In a greased large roasting pan, place just enough cornbread mixture to cover the bottom. Add just enough meat mixture to cover that layer, and repeat the layering until all mixtures have been used.
  3. Combine Monterey Jack and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle evenly over layers and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30–35 minutes or until browned and bubbly on top.
  4. Serve warm.
