Ingredients
- 1 lb. pork sausage bulk
- ½ cup onion diced
- 12 white bread large slices; sandwich bread; crust trimmed and cubed
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese grated; about 2 cups
- 10 egg
- 3 cups milk whole
- ½ teaspoon mustard powder dry
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Brown the sausage and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink (about 7 minutes); drain.
- Grease a deep 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Arrange bread cubes in the bottom of the dish. Add the sausage on top, followed by the cheese.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dry mustard, kosher salt and pepper.
- Pour egg mixture over the casserole. Cover tightly with foil and refrigerate for 8 hours (or overnight).
- In the morning, allow the dish to rest on the counter for 30-60 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Remove the foil and bake the casserole (uncovered) for 60-80 minutes, or until the eggs are set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Loosely cover the casserole with foil about halfway through, or whenever it begins to brown if you don't want the top to get too dark. The casserole will puff up very high in the oven, but will “deflate” significantly as it cools – this is normal.
- Let stand 10 minutes, and then slice into squares and serve.

Notes
- Leftover casserole will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- To Freeze: Bake in a freezer safe pan (like a foil disposable pan) and cool completely. Wrap well in foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge the night before you plan to eat the casserole. Reheat the casserole in a 350 degree F oven for about 30 minutes, or until warmed through. You can also reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 1 minute.
