Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices day-old bread
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1.5 cups cooked breakfast sausage or bacon
- 3 tablespoons green onions (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Cut the day-old bread slices into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the prepared baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until fully beaten.
Add the milk, salt, black pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the whisked eggs. Mix well.
Spread the cooked sausage or crumbled bacon evenly over the bread cubes in the dish.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and meat, pressing lightly to ensure all the bread is saturated.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top, followed by green onions if desired.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the casserole (covered) in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
