Ingredients
- 8 ounces ground breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1.25 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 slices day-old bread
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons dried parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin with the unsalted butter or a non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 3
Cut the day-old bread into small cubes, roughly 1/2-inch in size, and divide them evenly among the greased muffin cups.
Step 4
Top the bread cubes in each cup with the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese, distributing the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley until well combined.
Step 6
Carefully pour the egg mixture evenly over each muffin cup, filling them close to the top.
Step 7
Lightly press down the ingredients in each cup with a spoon to ensure everything is soaked in the egg mixture.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the casseroles are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the casseroles to cool for 5 minutes before carefully loosening and removing them with a spatula or butter knife.
Step 10
Serve warm, and garnish with additional parsley if desired. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
