Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 10 units large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 6 units bread slices
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cup green onions, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter, ensuring all surfaces are covered.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and no pink remains. Break it into crumbles using a spatula while cooking. Drain off excess fat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper and mix until well combined.
Layer the bread slices at the bottom of the prepared baking dish, ensuring full coverage. You might need to tear a few slices to fit perfectly.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the bread layer.
Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, sausage, and cheese layers, ensuring it soaks through evenly.
Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped green onions.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious sausage egg casserole warm!
