Magical holiday breakfast casserole with sausage, bread, mushrooms, and cheddar cheese.
Ingredients:
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage, any flavor
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cups cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 loaf (8 cups, 1-inch cubes) Italian bread, Ciabatta or Baguette (crusty bread)
  • 1 1/2 dozen (18) large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Cook the sausage in a saute pan over medium heat for 3 minutes, breaking it into bite-sized pieces. Add mushrooms, bell peppers, 1 tsp salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes. Allow the mixture to cool and then drain off any excess liquid.
  • Combine eggs and milk in a bowl. Mix in the rest of the salt and cheese until well blended.
  • Combine the bread cubes and cooled sausage mixture in a greased 13×9-inch baking dish, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
  • Lavishly drizzle the egg mixture onto the bread and sausage, then gently press down to allow the bread to absorb the luscious flavors.
  • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes, then bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes. Serve hot.
