Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups day-old bread (cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the cubed bread, cooked sausage, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to coat all the bread evenly.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
