How to Make Sausage And Cheddar Egg Dish

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, green onions, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Melt butter and brush evenly over the bottom and sides of a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  4. Arrange bread pieces in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
  5. Evenly sprinkle the crumbled cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese over the bread.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese.
  7. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight.
  8. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  9. Uncover and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  10. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.
