Preparation Time 15-20 minutes
Cooking Time 40 minutes
Total Time 8 hours 55 minutes – 8 hours 100 minutes
Level of Difficulty Medium

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!
