Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 2 apples, diced
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups cubed bread
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all your ingredients, chop your apples, and cube the bread.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage, cooking until browned and cooked through — about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Sauté the Apples: Toss in your diced apples, sautéing for about three to five minutes until softened and caramelized.
- Combine with Other Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fluffy. Add in the bread cubes, cooked sausage, and apples, stirring gently. Fold in most of the cheese, saving some for the top.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 baking dish, top with reserved cheese, and bake for 30-35 minutes until set and golden.
- Let It Rest: Allow the casserole to cool for about 5-10 minutes before slicing.
