Description

A hearty breakfast casserole packed with savory sausage, fluffy eggs, cheese, and bread. Perfect for weekend brunch, holidays, or feeding a crowd. This easy-to-make dish combines rich flavors with a comforting texture, making it a family favorite.

Ingredients

Sausage Mixture

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1½ cups milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Other

  • 4 cups cubed bread
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  2. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until it’s fully browned and cooked through. Drain the excess fat to avoid greasiness.
  3. Layer Bread and Sausage: Spread the cubed bread evenly across the bottom of the greased baking dish. Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the bread cubes, then sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  4. Mix Eggs and Seasoning: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine and Bake: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, sausage, and cheese in the baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top has a golden color.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the casserole from the oven, garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh burst of flavor, and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate it overnight for convenience and enhanced flavor melding.
  • Add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the sausage mixture for extra vegetables and nutrition.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute regular bread with gluten-free bread.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
