Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Cook the ground breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until fully browned. Drain excess fat.
Cube the day-old bread into bite-sized pieces and spread evenly in the greased baking dish.
Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, sprinkle cooked sausage on top, and gently press down.
If time allows, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for enhanced flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden-brown and the center is firm.
Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
