Ingredients
- 10 eggs
- 1 pound maple sausage cooked, crumbled and drained
- 1 1/4 cups colby jack cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt optional
- 3 slices brioche bread cubed & dried
- 2 1/4 cups milk
Instructions
- Grease a 9 x 13 baking pan and preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large bowl scramble eggs with a fork or whisk.
- Stir remaining ingredients into eggs.
- Pour in baking pan and bake for 30 - 40 minutes until center of casserole is set.
Notes
- Make sure bread has been dried out before adding to the casserole
- I like to dry bread by leaving out on the counter for the day, but a broiler or toaster can be used
- If bread is not dried the casserole is more likely to be soggy
- Scramble eggs before mixing together with other ingredients
- Sausage may add enough flavor so make the salt is needed before adding
- We prefer Colby jack cheese with a more mild flavor since the brioche bread and sausage bring such distinct flavors
