Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
  • 3 cups cubed bread (day-old works best)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Layer the cubed bread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle cooked sausage, onions, and bell peppers over the bread layer.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients.
  6. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and parsley if using.
  7. Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the egg mixture.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, try using smoked sausage or add diced jalapeños for a spicy kick. Serve with fresh fruit or toast for a complete meal.
