This Easy Breakfast Casserole made with sausage, cheese, eggs and Texas Toast comes together quickly. Refrigerate overnight and bake it the next morning for an easy, hassle free breakfast. It's our holiday tradition!
One of the things I love most about this Breakfast Casserole is that it's so easy to make. I make it up the night before and put in in the fridge.
The recipe calls for using Texas Toast which I find in the freezer section of the grocery store. Texas Toast is a toast that is double the thickness of regular bread. It's buttered on both sides and I use the one that has a garlic spread added to it. If you can't find Texas Toast, I've also used cubed sourdough bread or french bread. Use what you like, trust me that it will still be delicious!
The ingredient list is small and the method easy. Just line your baking dish with the Texas Toast, sprinkle the bread with cooked sausage and shredded cheddar cheese, then pour a mixture of eggs, milk, salt and pepper over the top, cover, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, all you have to do is place the casserole in the oven, enjoy a cup of coffee with family or friends. By the time you pour your second cup, the casserole will be ready.
This recipe is a basic recipe that would do well with any additions you'd like to make; mushrooms, various cheeses, onions, and peppers would be lovely added in.
This easy to make recipe is one my family loves!
Enjoy!
