Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, lightly tossing to coat the bread evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Fold in the cooked sausage and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the casserole—it should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious sausage brunch casserole!
