Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 6 slices of white or whole wheat bread, cubed
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) shredded Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the Sausage:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
  3. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Spread the cubed bread evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Sprinkle the cooked sausage over the bread.
  4. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
    • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage.
  5. Add Cheese:
    • Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
  6. Bake:
    • Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate. In the morning, bake as directed.
  • For added flavor, mix in sautéed vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
