Servings: persons

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion (10 oz.), peeled, cut in half, and thinly sliced crosswise
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced or pressed
1 pound fresh mild or hot Italian sausage (about 4 links), casings removed
4 ounces escarole (see notes), rinsed, tough white parts removed, and thinly sliced
2 cups whole milk
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
10 cup 1- to 2-inch cubes French or country-style bread (1 lb.; crusts removed)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon fresh-grated nutmeg

1
Pour oil into a 10- to 12-inch frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and stir often until limp and slightly golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and crumble sausage into pan. Stir often until meat is no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes, using a wooden spoon to break up the meat if necessary.
2
Add escarole to sausage mixture in pan and reduce heat to low. Stir until escarole is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove pan from heat.
3
In a large bowl, whisk the milk and eggs until combined. Stir in Gruyere, bread cubes, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
4
Add sausage mixture and stir to mix well. Scrape mixture into a buttered 9- by 13-inch baking dish and spread level (see notes).
5
Bake in a 375u00b0 oven until top is golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out mostly clean, 35 to 45 minutes. (If top is brown after 30 minutes, cover loosely with foil and continue to bake.) Serve hot.
