Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 8 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 cups Day-old bread (cubed, such as sourdough or French bread)
- 0.5 cup Green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Butter (to grease the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, stirring gently until the bread is saturated. Let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Stir the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions into the bread mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with extra sliced green onions if desired, and serve warm to your family or guests.
