Breakfast Casserole

It doesn't need to be morning to make a great breakfast. Tonight I made a breakfast casserole that we all enjoyed, the flavorful smell that filled the house was amazing! This is a great recipe because you can make it the night before so you have a wonderful breakfast ready and waiting for you in the morning.

2 TBSP olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3 c chopped or crumbled soy sausage (I like LightLife in the white package)
One 16 oz package soft tofu, pressed and crumbled
2 c soy milk
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground fennel seeds
Salt and Pepper
8 slices bread

Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat. Add onion, cover, and cook until soft, about 5 mins. Add the soy sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 mins. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a bowl, combine tofu, soy milk, thyme, fennel seeds, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well, then blend in the sausage mixture and set aside.
Tear the bread into bite size pieces and place in a oiled 9x13 baking dish. Pour mixture evenly over the bread and set aside, at least 20 mins, up to overnight (if refrigerating overnight, bring to room temperature before baking).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until puffy and lightly browned, about 45 mins. Let stand 10 mins before cutting into squares.
