Ingredients
Scale
- 6 to 7 slices good bread such as a sliced Italian bakery bread
- 1 pound of breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled, mild or hot, your choice
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons chopped chives
- 2 teaspoons chopped parsley
- 1 cup grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Generously spray or butter a 7 x 11″ baking dish.
Tear tear or cut bread into chunks and place them in the baking dish. Sprinkle sausage over bread.
Mix together the eggs, milk, mustard powder, salt, cayenne, herbs and pour over the bread. Top with grated cheese. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Place casserole into oven covered, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake, about 10 to 15 minutes longer, until eggs are set when tested (insert a knife in the center of the casserole and remove – should come out with no trace of raw egg, a bit of moisture is ok) and lightly golden brown.
