Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups day-old bread
- 1 medium bell pepper (any color), diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the diced bell pepper and onion for 5-6 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add the bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, cooked sausage, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Fold everything together gently until evenly coated and mixed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Sausage Brunch Bake!
