Ingredients

1 pound (450g) pork sausage
1 tablespoon (14g) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 medium red pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon (5g) minced garlic
10 large eggs
2 cups (480ml) whole milk
1-1½ cups (113-170g) shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon (12g) Creole seasoning
½ teaspoon (2g) salt
1 teaspoon (4g) baking powder
⅓ cup (75g) melted butter
2 cups (200g) cubed bread
2 green onions, sliced for an optional garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ (175℃).
In a large, deep skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until they're no longer pink. They'll be crumbly and evenly browned.
Drain well using a colander to remove excess grease and set aside to cool.
Melt butter in the skillet, and add onions, bell peppers, and garlic. Cook over medium heat until tender, 3-5 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Stir in the sausage and sauteed vegetables. Add shredded cheese, Creole seasoning, salt, baking powder, and melted butter. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and arrange the cubed bread along the bottom. Pour the sausage and egg mixture over the bread, spreading out over the bread.
Bake it for 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. The casserole will be firm, and a knife inserted in the center will come out clean. Let it rest for about 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy hot!

Notes

Make it ahead by assembling it a day before and keep it in the refrigerator overnight. Then, bake in the morning as instructed.
Store leftover sausage egg casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 4 days.
Baked sausage egg casserole keeps well in the freezer for about 2 months. You can also freeze the uncooked sausage egg casserole and bake it when you want.
