Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
6 cups cubed bread (day-old white or French bread)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it into crumbles with a spatula. Drain excess fat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until fully combined.
Add the cubed bread, cooked sausage, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the bread is well coated.
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
