Ingredients
- 1 lb sausage
- 1 C cheddar cheese, freshly grated
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3–4 C sourdough bread, cubed
- 12 eggs
- 1 ½ C whole milk
- ½ tsp salt and pepper
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces, until it’s browned and crispy. While sausage cooks, cube bread, dice red pepper and grate cheese. When sausage is nearly done, add diced pepper to the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes, until softened. Use a slotted spoon to transfer mixture to a plate lined with paper towels. Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Spread cubed bread evenly in the bottom of prepared baking dish. Layer shredded cheese on top, followed by sausage and red pepper mixture. Pour egg mixture evenly over the top. Bake 45–50 minutes, or until center is set and top is golden. Let cool 5–10 minutes before serving. Serves 8.
