Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground dry mustard
- 6 slices sourdough bread cut into 1” cubes (approximately 6-7 cups)
- 1 pound breakfast sausage links cooked and cut into 1” pieces (or bacon)
- 1 ½ cups shredded cheese
Instructions
Cook Mode- Add the eggs to a very large bowl, and whisk them until all of the yolks are broken.
- Pour in the milk, add the ground dry mustard and salt, and whisk to combine.
- Add in the cubed sourdough bread, as well as the cooked and diced sausage (or bacon). Stir well to combine and coat the bread with the egg and milk mixture.
- Add in the shredded cheese, and fold it in until well combined.
- Grease a 9X13 baking dish with butter or avocado oil, and pour the breakfast casserole mixture into the dish.
- Cover the casserole and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- When you’re ready to bake, place the dish in a cold oven, and then heat it to 350ºF.
- Once the oven has preheated (with the dish inside), start the cook time. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Bake covered with foil or a lid if you like a soft texture, or uncovered if you like crispy edges and a crispy top.
- Once the egg is set in the center, remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Leftovers: Reheat leftovers by placing the covered dish in a cold oven and heating it to 300ºF. Once the casserole is warmed through, serve and enjoy.
With bacon: If you prefer, you can use 1 pound of bacon (cooked and chopped) in place of the sausage links in this recipe.
Type of bread: Sourdough works very well for this recipe, but you can use 6-7 cups of any cubed bread you prefer. Italian or French style loaves work very well, and loaves that are a day old (or older) are preferred.
Make ahead: Prepare this casserole the night before and store in the fridge overnight. Place the dish into a cold oven in the morning and bake as directed.
