Alexa Mellardo’s mom just broke Thanksgiving’s stretchy food timeline by turning leftover stuffing into a 7-minute prep, 30-minute bake miracle called the 'brunch bake.' This casserole starring 2 cups of sausage-cranberry stuffing, 4 whisked eggs, ½ cup of farm-fresh milk, and a Monterey Jack cheese cameo cooks at 350°F in a greased 9-by-13-inch pan. With only five ingredients and zero wizardry, the dish promises leftovers hero status after an 18-person Italian-Turkey feast uniting all your carb and cheese fantasies. Bonus: it’s the hobbit hole for Sundays after Black Friday sales and pre-Christmas tree chaos.
