Ingredients for Success

You only need a handful of kitchen staples to deliver big flavor:

• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 6 large eggs
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 6 slices sandwich bread, cubed
• Optional: diced bell peppers, onions, or spinach

Chop veggies lightning-fast with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper for perfect uniformity.

Step-By-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and cooked through, breaking up the meat as it cooks. A Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher makes this step easier and faster for perfectly crumbled sausage.
3. Remove the cooked sausage with a slotted spoon and set aside. Optionally, sauté any veggies in the same pan until softened, about 3 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. For fluffy eggs every time, try blending the mixture in a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender—it’s fast and fuss-free.
5. Layer the cubed bread on the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Sprinkle cooked sausage (and veggies, if using) evenly over the bread, then top with shredded cheddar.
6. Pour the egg mixture over everything, ensuring all bread cubes are moistened.
7. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the casserole is puffed, golden, and the center is set. For easy cleanup, line your baking dish with a sheet from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before assembling.
8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving hot.
