Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old or slightly stale)
  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your preference)
  • 1 pound sausage (cooked and crumbled)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sausage: Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Layer the bread: Spread the cubed bread evenly in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish to form the base layer of the casserole.
  3. Add the sausage and cheese: Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bread layer, followed by an even layer of shredded cheese.
  4. Mix eggs and milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour egg mixture: Slowly pour the egg and milk mixture over the layered ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring all the bread is moistened.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the casserole uncovered for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares and serving warm.

Notes

  • Use stale or day-old bread for best texture; fresh bread may become too soggy.
  • You can substitute sausage with bacon or ham, or make it vegetarian by omitting meat.
  • Add vegetables like bell peppers or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Cover the casserole with foil for the first 30 minutes if the top browns too quickly.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated thoroughly.
