Ingredients

• 12 pieces Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage Links
• 10 Large eggs
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Diced bell peppers (mixed colors)
• 0.5 cup Diced onion
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 4 cups Day-old bread, cubed
• 1 as needed Butter or nonstick spray to grease the dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the Johnsonville Breakfast Sausage Links in a skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the cubed bread, shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, diced onion, and the chopped sausage pieces into the mixing bowl. Gently fold the ingredients together until well-distributed and coated with the egg mixture.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Press down lightly with a spatula to ensure everything is evenly packed.

Step 6

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the casserole is set in the middle.

Step 8

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Johnsonville Easter Breakfast Casserole!
