Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 8 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 cups Day-old bread, cubed
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon Butter, for greasing the dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage, breaking it into small crumbles, until it is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Add the cubed bread, cooked sausage, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until the bread is fully coated and everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Cover the casserole 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 brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired, and enjoy your Easter Breakfast Casserole!
