Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large egg
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and gently stir to ensure the bread is fully coated.
Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the 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 top is golden and the casserole is set with no liquid in the center.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
