Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 10 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 4 stalks green onions, chopped
- 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain any excess grease and set it aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 4
Add the cubed bread to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the cooked sausage crumbles, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions.
Step 5
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, sausage, and cheese, ensuring all the ingredients are submerged and coated.
Step 6
Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
Step 7
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and golden brown on top.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
