How to Make Simple Savory Breakfast Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound breakfast sausage according to package directions. Crumble and drain excess grease.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  5. Layer half of 6 cups cubed bread in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  6. Sprinkle half of 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked sausage over the bread layer. Add half of any optional ingredients (see notes) if desired.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining bread, cheese, and sausage.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is golden brown. Cover with foil if the top browns too quickly.
  10. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
