Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 10 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 4 cups Italian bread
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage until fully browned, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Once cooked, drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Cut the Italian bread into 1-inch cubes and place them in a single layer at the bottom of the greased casserole dish.
Evenly layer the cooked sausage over the bread cubes, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the bread, sausage, and cheese, ensuring everything is well coated.
Gently press down on the casserole with the back of a spoon or your hands to help soak the bread with the egg mixture.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy!
