Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups cubed bread
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage
  • 8 eggs
  • 2.5 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onion

Method
 

  1. Brown the sausage in a skillet, breaking it up, then drain.
  2. Spread the cubed bread in a greased baking dish and scatter the sausage and cheese over it.
  3. Whisk the eggs, milk, mustard powder, and salt, then pour over the bread.
  4. Cover and refrigerate overnight so the bread soaks up the custard.
  5. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes until set and golden.
  6. Top with green onion and let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Assembling the night before makes Christmas morning so much easier.
