Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 6 pieces White bread slices
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 large Eggs
• 2 cups Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Butter or cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Break it into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain off excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

Lay the white bread slices in a single layer along the bottom of the prepared baking dish. You may need to cut or tear the bread to ensure the entire bottom is covered.

Step 4

Evenly distribute the cooked sausage crumbles over the bread layer.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage layer.

Step 6

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 7

Carefully pour the egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it soaks through the bread and evenly covers the sausage and cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture. For best results, this step can be done the night before and refrigerated overnight.

Step 9

Bake the casserole, covered, in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the middle.

Step 11

Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
