Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage Links
- 10 Large eggs
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 0.5 cup Diced onion
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cups Day-old bread, cubed
- 1 as needed Butter or nonstick spray to grease the dish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.
Cook the Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage Links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning until well combined.
Add the cubed bread, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onion, and the chopped sausage pieces into the mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until well-distributed and coated with the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly packed.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the middle.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Johnsonville Easter Breakfast Casserole!
