Ingredients

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 8 large eggs
• 1.5 cups whole milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 4 cups day-old bread
• 1 medium bell pepper (any color), diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cups spinach leaves
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the diced bell pepper and onion for 5-6 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the spinach leaves and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the bread cubes, sautéed vegetables, cooked sausage, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Fold everything together gently until evenly coated and mixed.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 8

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 9

Remove the baking dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious Sausage Brunch Bake!
