Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices day-old bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with the unsalted butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Cut the day-old bread into small cubes, roughly 1/2-inch in size, and divide them evenly among the greased muffin cups.
Top the bread cubes in each cup with the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese, distributing the ingredients evenly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over each muffin cup, filling them close to the top.
Lightly press down the ingredients in each cup with a spoon to ensure everything is soaked in the egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the casseroles are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the casseroles to cool for 5 minutes before carefully loosening and removing them with a spatula or butter knife.
Serve warm, and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
