Ingredients
- 1 pound ground pork sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 6 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- Nonstick cooking spray
Step 1: Prepare Ingredients and Cook Sausage
Gather all the ingredients: 1 pound bulk pork sausage, 8 large eggs, 2 ½ cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground mustard, 6 slices white bread (cut into 1/2-inch cubes), 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, and cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the sausage, and cook for about 10 minutes until it is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink.
Drain and discard any excess grease.
Step 2: Mix Eggs and Seasonings
In a large bowl, beat the 8 large eggs.
Stir in 2 ½ cups of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of ground mustard until well combined.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients
Fold the 6 slices of bread cubes, 1 cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, and the cooked sausage into the egg and milk mixture.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 4: Assemble and Refrigerate
Lightly grease a 7×11-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the dish and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the bread to absorb the liquid.
Step 5: Preheat Oven and Prepare for Baking
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Remove the casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to bake it to let it come to room temperature.
Step 6: Bake and Serve
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
Once done, remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then serve your delicious sausage and egg breakfast casserole hot.
Enjoy!
