How to Make Zippy Egg Casserole

  1. Cook 1 pound of sausage over medium-high heat until brown. Break it up with a spoon as it cooks.
  2. Drain off excess grease and crumble the sausage.
  3. Lightly grease a 13 x 9 inch casserole dish. Arrange 2 cups of croutons in a single layer on the bottom.
  4. Layer 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese, and 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese over the croutons.
  5. Top the cheese layer evenly with the cooked sausage.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup half-and-half, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage layer.
  8. Cover the casserole dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the casserole is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  10. Let the casserole sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow it to set completely.
