Description
A straightforward baked casserole recipe perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups cubed bread (stale bread works well)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and pepper.
- In the prepared baking dish, layer the cubed bread evenly.
- Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the bread layer.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow the bread to soak up the liquid.
- Remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- You can substitute turkey sausage for pork sausage.
- Use any type of bread you prefer, such as white, whole wheat, or sourdough.
- For a less rich flavor, reduce the amount of cheese to 3/4 cup.
