Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage casings removed
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms sliced
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 6 cups cubed Italian bread
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onion. Cook until mushrooms release their liquid and become golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread bread cubes in the bottom, then top with sausage, mushroom mixture, and both cheeses.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the casserole.
  5. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure everything is moistened. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  6. The next morning, preheat oven to 350°F and let casserole sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  7. Bake covered for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and set.
  8. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
