How to Make Overnight Egg Brunch

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. Arrange 6 slices of bread in the bottom of the prepared pan.
  3. Brown 1 pound of sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off excess grease.
  4. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the bread.
  5. Layer the browned sausage evenly over the cheese.
  6. Cube the remaining 6 slices of bread and place on top of the sausage.
  7. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread and sausage layers.
  9. Cover the pan tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
  10. In the morning, let the casserole stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  11. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown.
  12. During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle ½ cup of reserved shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
  13. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving.
