Ingredients
- 8 pieces breakfast sausage links
- 6 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups day-old bread (cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (to grease the dish)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
Step 2
Cook the breakfast sausage links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Let them cool slightly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Add the cubed bread, cooked sausage pieces, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Gently toss everything together until the bread is evenly saturated with the liquid.
Step 5
Pour the bread and sausage mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is fully set.
Step 7
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
Step 8
Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
