Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (I used fully cooked chicken apple sausage cut into bite sized pieces)
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (I like to use cremini or white)
- 2 teaspoons salt, divided
- pepper, to taste
- 1 loaf Italian bread, ciabatta or baguette (crusty bread), cut into 1 inch cubes (about 8 cups of bread)
- 18 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- butter for baking the dish
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a saute pan over medium heat for 3 minutes, breaking it into bite size pieces. (If using fully cooked sausage, add some olive oil to the pan and heat through.)
- Add the mushrooms, bell peppers, 1 tsp of salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 5 minutes. Let cool.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- In a bowl, beat the eggs, 1 tsp salt and milk. Add the cheese and stir to combine.
- Butter the 13×9 inch baking dish and add the bread cubes and cooled sausage mixture. Toss to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture over the bread and sausage, pressing the bread mixture down gently to soak up some of the egg mixture.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Uncover the dish and continue to bake an additional 20 minutes.
- Serve.
