Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 8 pieces large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 cups day-old bread, cubed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon butter, for greasing
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, then set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
Step 4
Add the cubed bread to the egg mixture, lightly tossing to coat the bread evenly. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
Step 5
Fold in the cooked sausage and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, mixing gently to combine.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center of the casserole—it should come out clean.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious sausage brunch casserole!
