Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 10 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 stalks green onions, chopped
- 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the cooked sausage crumbles, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, sausage, and cheese, ensuring all the ingredients are submerged and coated.
Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
