A quick and easy breakfast casserole perfect for Father’s Day or any family gathering, combining eggs, sausage, cheese, and bread in a comforting, dump-and-bake dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 cups whole milk (or 2% milk for lighter option)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 cups cubed day-old bread (French or sourdough preferred)
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy, raw, no need to pre-cook)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until frothy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Spread cubed bread evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle raw sausage evenly over the bread cubes.
  5. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and optional diced bell peppers over the sausage layer.
  6. Top with shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole, pressing gently to help soak the bread.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes to absorb the egg mixture.
  9. Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes until puffed and golden brown; a knife inserted should come out clean.
  10. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use day-old bread for best texture; do not pre-cook sausage; let casserole rest before baking for custardy texture; cover with foil if top browns too fast; can be assembled night before and refrigerated; substitutions available for dietary needs.
