Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups day-old bread (cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 4
Add the cubed bread, cooked sausage, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to coat all the bread evenly.
Step 5
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is golden brown.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
