Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pork sausage
- 10 large eggs lightly beaten
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 6 cups cubed bread
- 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- ½ cup diced red pepper optional
- sliced green onion optional
Instructions
- Grease a 9x13x2-inch casserole dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the pork sausage over medium-high heat until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
- Place half of the cubed bread evenly in the prepared casserole dish, then sprinkle with half the cheese, pepper, red pepper, and sausage. Repeat these layers.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole layers.
- Cover the casserole and refrigerate overnight, or you can bake immediately.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Bake uncovered for 60-75 minutes until the eggs are set. If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover it with foil.
- Optionally, garnish the casserole with sliced green onions before serving warm.
Notes
For added flavor, consider using spicy sausage or adding other vegetables like mushrooms or spinach.
This casserole can be prepared a day ahead, making it ideal for busy mornings.
Ensure that the casserole is baked until the eggs are fully set for best results.
