Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 6 pieces bread slices
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 as needed butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until it is browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Cut the bread slices into 1-inch cubes and layer them evenly in the prepared casserole dish.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the bread cubes, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and bread cubes, allowing the liquid to soak in evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
