This savory breakfast bake combines hearty sausage, creamy eggs, and melted cheese for a comforting and delicious start to your day.
Cook the sausage and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the sausage is browned and the onion is soft.
Breaking the sausage into small pieces ensures even cooking and better distribution in the dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dry mustard until well combined.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the spices are evenly distributed in the egg mixture.
Grease a casserole dish with butter to prevent sticking.
Ensure the butter covers all corners of the dish for easy cleanup.
Layer the bread slices, cooked sausage mixture, and half of the shredded cheese in the casserole dish.
Press the layers gently to create a uniform base for the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients and top with the remaining cheese.
Pour slowly to ensure the egg mixture soaks into the bread evenly.
Bake the casserole in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
Check the center with a toothpick; it should come out clean when the casserole is done.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious breakfast bake!
Allowing the casserole to cool slightly makes it easier to slice and serve.
