  • 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar)
  • 1 pound of breakfast sausage (or bacon)
  • 1 teaspoon of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cut the day-old bread into cubes.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried mustard.
  4. Layer the bread cubes in a greased baking dish, then sprinkle the cooked sausage and any optional add-ons.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients and gently press down.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes until golden brown and set.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread for better absorption of the egg mixture.

  • Cover with aluminum foil if the top browns too quickly.
  • Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
