Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 cups cubed day-old bread (French or sourdough)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain excess fat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon mustard (if using), salt, and pepper.
- Stir in bread cubes, cooked sausage, shredded cheese, and green onions. Mix until well combined.

- Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate overnight for an easy morning bake.
- Feel free to add veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.
- Swap cheddar for your favorite cheese—Monterey Jack, Swiss, or mozzarella all work well.
