Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, for greasing the dish
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 cup green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and browned. Remove the mushrooms from the skillet and set aside with the sausage.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the cubed bread to the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Layer the cooked sausage and mushrooms over the bread cubes. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage and mushrooms.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the casserole dish, ensuring all the bread cubes are soaked.
Top the casserole with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden on top.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5–10 minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy!
