Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Breakfast sausage
- 10 pieces Large eggs
- 2 cups Milk
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups Day-old bread cubes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Butter or nonstick spray for greasing the dish
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned and no longer pink. Break it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and fully combined.
Layer the bread cubes evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the bread cubes, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and bread cubes, making sure all the bread is soaked in the liquid.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole to form an even layer.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
