Assemble this casserole the night before for a simple, delicious breakfast on Christmas morning.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces pork sausage
- 10 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups cubed bread (try Jamesport Sourdough bread, cubed & stored in freezer)
- 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup diced red pepper
- sliced green onion
Instructions
- Butter a 9 x 13 x 2 inch casserole dish.
- In large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink.
- In large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until thoroughly combined.
- Evenly distribute half the bread into the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with half the cheese, half the black pepper, half the red pepper, and half the sausage. Repeat layers.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over casserole.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- When you're ready to bake the casserole, preheat oven to 325 F. Bake uncovered for 55-60 minutes, or until eggs are set. If the top begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the casserole dish with foil.
- Sprinkle the casserole with sliced green onions. Serve warm.
