Ingredients

  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite)
  • 6 cups cubed day-old bread
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced onions
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • Optional: 1 cup chopped spinach or mushrooms
  • Optional: Fresh herbs, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease and spread sausage evenly in the dish.
  3. Scatter cubed bread over the sausage and add any optional vegetables or herbs.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  5. Pour egg mixture over the bread and sausage. Press down gently to help the bread absorb the liquid.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  7. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • Assemble the night before and refrigerate—just bake in the morning.
  • Add jalapeños or hot sauce for a spicy version.
  • Use a blend of cheeses for deeper flavor.
  • Swap in gluten-free bread or hash browns for a gluten-free version.
  • Freezes well—wrap slices individually and reheat from frozen.
