A delightful and hearty breakfast casserole perfect for gatherings or a cozy morning.
Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Greasing the dish ensures the casserole doesn't stick and makes cleanup easier.
Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then drain any excess fat.
Breaking the sausage into small pieces while cooking helps it cook evenly.
Spread the cooked sausage and chopped green onion evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Ensure an even layer for consistent flavor in every bite.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage and onion layer.
Use freshly shredded cheese for better melting and flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, milk, and paprika until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a uniform mixture for even cooking.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
Pour slowly to avoid disturbing the layers.
Arrange the bread slices on top, pressing them slightly into the egg mixture.
Using slightly stale bread helps it absorb the mixture better.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the center is set. Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Allowing the casserole to rest helps it set and makes serving easier.
