Ingredients

• 12 oz Italian sausage (mild or spicy, as preferred)
• 8 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups Half-and-half
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 6 cups Day-old bread (cubed, preferably sourdough or French bread)
• 8 oz Brie cheese (rind removed and cut into small cubes)
• 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cup Green onions (thinly sliced, white and green parts)
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the Italian sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture and toss gently to coat, ensuring the bread absorbs the liquid evenly. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soak.

Step 5

Fold the cooked sausage, brie cheese cubes, shredded cheddar cheese, and green onions into the bread mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it into an even layer.

Step 7

Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Slice into squares and enjoy your Brie and Sausage Brunch Bake!
