Ingredients
  

  • 6 slices of bread
  • 1 lb. pork breakfast sausage
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 8 eggs beaten

  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk, Mix in the milk, salt, and pepper and whisk until well combined.
  • Pour egg mixture over the other ingredients in the pan and cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
  • Place in the refrigerator overnight to let the bread soak up the liquid.
  • The next day, preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before baking.
  • Uncover the pan and bake for 45 minutes or until set.
    (Time will vary depending on how cold it was going in, your oven, and what kind of pan you use. Insert a knife in the center to check – it should come out clean when done.)
  • Cut it into squares right in the pan to serve.
