Ingredients

• 8 cups Sourdough bread
• 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 large Eggs
• 3 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Dried mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the unsalted butter and set it aside.

Step 2

Cut the sourdough bread into 1-inch cubes and place evenly into the prepared dish.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and spread the cooked sausage over the sourdough bread cubes in the baking dish.

Step 4

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the sausage and bread layer.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the contents of the baking dish, ensuring all the bread cubes are moistened.

Step 7

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and let it rest for at least 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the egg mixture. (This step can also be done overnight if preparing ahead.)

Step 8

Bake the covered casserole in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
