Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground pork sausage
  • 6 slices white bread cubed
  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika optional, for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Method
 

  1. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess grease.
  3. Arrange the cubed bread in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the bread layer.
  5. Distribute the shredded cheese over the sausage layer.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dry mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, making sure all bread pieces are moistened.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, or at least 8 hours.
  9. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  11. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  12. If desired, sprinkle with paprika and fresh parsley before serving.
