Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Ground Sausage 1 lb
Mustard Powder 1 teaspoon
Kosher Salt ½ teaspoon
Large Eggs (beaten) 4
Whole Milk 2 cups
White Bread (toasted and cubed) 6 slices
Mild Cheddar Cheese (shredded) 1 cup

Instructions:

  1. Brown the Sausage: Crumble the ground sausage into a medium skillet and cook it over medium heat until it’s browned evenly. Drain any excess grease from the cooked sausage.

  2. Whisk the Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mustard powder, salt, beaten eggs, and whole milk.

  3. Combine Everything: Add the cooked and drained sausage, toasted bread cubes, and shredded cheddar cheese to the wet mixture in the bowl. Stir everything well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.

  4. Assemble and Chill: Pour the casserole mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate it for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the bread to absorb the egg mixture and the flavors to meld.

  5. Preheat the Oven: When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  6. Bake Covered First: Take the casserole out of the refrigerator and remove the cover. Bake it covered for 45-60 minutes.

  7. Uncover and Finish Baking: After the initial baking time, uncover the casserole and reduce the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C). Bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.

  8. Serve and Enjoy: Take the casserole out of the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting and serving. This allows the filling to firm up for easier serving. Enjoy this warm and satisfying Christmas Breakfast Casserole with your loved ones!
