The recipe below makes about 8 servings and is sure to be a holiday breakfast favorite! Don’t forget to check out the “Agent Tips” underneath the instructions.

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bulk pork sausage
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 6 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

 

Instructions: 

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in sausage. Cook and stir until sausage is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease.

2. Beat eggs in a large bowl; stir in milk, salt, and mustard. Fold bread cubes, Cheddar cheese, and sausage into egg mixture. Pour into a lightly greased 7×11-inch baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.

3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove casserole from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.

4. Bake in preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.

 

*Agent Tips:

Kathy recommends to sauté onions and mix them in with the sausage for added flavor.

This is a delicious egg dish that can be made the night before and simply popped in the oven in the morning. Our girls have experienced the tradition of the scent of this dish cooking while opening gifts and stockings. Cheers!”

 

We hope you enjoy this delicious breakfast casserole recipe and stay tuned for more holiday favorites to come!
