Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 6 slices White or Italian bread
- 8 large Eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Cut or tear the bread into 1-inch pieces and layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with the bread pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the layer of bread in the baking dish.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage, ensuring all the bread pieces soak in the liquid.
Top the casserole with shredded cheddar cheese, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for additional flavor and color.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
