Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 loaf Bread (Cubed into 1-inch pieces) Opt for sturdy varieties like Pepperidge Farms Sourdough for best texture.
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese (Shredded) Can be swapped for Monterey Jack or mozzarella.
  • 1 lb Cooked Sausage (Crumboled and browned) Feel free to use turkey sausage for a lighter option.
  • Pepper To taste, freshly ground enhances the flavor.
  • 2 cups Milk (Whole) Can use non-dairy milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 tsp Salt Essential for proper seasoning.
  • 1 tsp Ground Mustard Offers subtle depth of flavor.
  • 8 large Eggs Acts as the binding agent for the casserole.

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish generously with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Evenly spread the cubed bread across the bottom of the greased baking dish.
  3. Sprinkle the crumbled, cooked sausage over the layer of bread, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, ground mustard, salt, and ground pepper until fully combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, sausage, and cheese, pressing down gently.
  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  7. When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap and place the dish in the preheated oven. Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes.
  8. Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
  9. Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm.
