Ingredients
- 1 lb 450g breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups 480ml milk
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 6 slices of bread cubed
- 1 ½ cups 150g shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Layer the Bread and Sausage: In a greased baking dish, layer the bread cubes and cooked sausage evenly.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the sausage and bread.
- Pour the Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
- Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Notes
- Use Day-Old Bread: Slightly stale bread absorbs the egg mixture better, creating a more cohesive casserole.
- Grease the Dish Well: Prevent sticking by thoroughly greasing your baking dish.
- Let it Rest: Allow the casserole to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to make slicing easier.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add chopped veggies, fresh herbs, or spicy sausage for variety.
