Base Ingredients
- 8 slices whole grain bread Cubed for a hearty base.
- 1 pound breakfast sausage Cooked and crumbled for a savory kick.
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese Adds creaminess and flavor.
- 1 cup milk Helps bind the ingredients together.
- 6 large eggs The main ingredient that gives structure.
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard For a hint of tanginess.
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder Adds depth to the flavor.
- 1 teaspoon onion powder Enhances the savory taste.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt To season the dish.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper For a touch of spice.
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions For garnish and added freshness.
Gather all the ingredients listed above.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter. Spread the cubed whole grain bread evenly across the bottom of the dish.
In a large mixing bowl, crack the six large eggs. Add the cup of milk, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Add the cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage to the dish, sprinkle it evenly over the bread cubes, then add the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish, covering all the bread cubes, sausage, and cheese. Gently press down on the bread with a spatula.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the plastic wrap and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Let the casserole cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
