Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 4 cups cubed bread (preferably a day or two old)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the crumbled breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer the cubed bread, cooked sausage, and shredded cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, sausage, and cheese. Press down gently to ensure the bread absorbs the egg mixture.
- Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
Notes
- You can prepare this casserole the night before. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator and bake in the morning.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or different types of cheese.
