Ingredients
- 8 slices white bread, cubed or torn up
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 lb. tube of breakfast sausage
- 6 eggs
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 3/4 tsp. mustard power
Instructions
Prepare the casserole the day before you want to eat it. Cook sausage in a pan over med-high heat, breaking up into small crumbles as it cooks. Set aside. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
Spray 9×13″ casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread bread out evenly in pan, then sprinkle cheese across the top, followed by sausage (including any liquid fat remaining in pan). Pour egg mixture over the pan, pushing down any dry filling into the liquid custard as necessary. Cover and place in refrigerator overnight.
The next morning, preheat oven to 350 degrees, and remove casserole from refrigerator and uncover while waiting for oven to heat up. Bake for 45-60 minutes or until wiggly.

Secrets of Success
- This is Joe’s family’s traditional Christmas Day breakfast, and the one recipe that Lu makes every year (or made, until I took over the responsibility). It’s delicious when cooked fresh, but also great as leftovers the rest of the week, reheated in the microwave for ~30 seconds.
- In addition to holiday brunch, we make this whenever we have a bunch of leftover bread to use up, such as the accumulated ends of several loaves of sandwich bread. If you have extra bread or things are looking too dry, just scale up the milk and eggs.
