Instructions

  • Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, then drain it well.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and dry mustard together in a large bowl.
  • Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and spread the bread cubes evenly inside.
  • Scatter the cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, red bell pepper, and green onions over the bread.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole and press the bread gently so it absorbs the custard.
  • Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
  • Remove the casserole from the refrigerator while the oven heats to 350°F.
  • Bake uncovered until the center is set and the top is golden, about 40 to 45 minutes.
  • Rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
