12 ounces cooked pork roast, shredded or cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 5 cups)
Oil spray
12 ounces crusty Italian bread, or French bread, with crusts, cut or torn into 3/4-inch pieces (about 12 cups)
1 7-ounce can chopped green chiles
4 ounces chevre, (spreadable goat cheese), crumbled (about 1 cup)*
3 tablespoons sage, chopped
7 large eggs

Steps:

Spray a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking oil. Arrange 1/2 of the bread in the dish. Top with 1/2 of the pork, 1/2 of the chiles, 1/2 of the cheese, and 1/2 of the sage. Repeat 1 time, making 2 layers. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the milk, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture over casserole and set aside for 20 minutes, pressing on the bread occasionally to help it absorb the liquid.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Bake until browned and the center is set, about 1 hour. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
*Note: Ideally, don't use pre-crumbled cheese - it doesn't melt as well.
