Ingredients

10 large Eggs
1.25 cup half and half
4 cups Crusty Bread Cut into pieces
2 teaspoon Oil
1 pound ground breakfast sausage
1 Red Bell Pepper chopped
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
½ tsp dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1.5 cup Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.
Heat oil in a skillet. Cook breakfast sausage until it is no longer pink. Let it cool.
Beat eggs in a big mixing bowl. Add Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, dijon mustard, half and half, chopped red pepper, cooked sausage, and 1 cup shredded cheddar. Mix everything really well.
Add cut bread. Toss everything. If you are doing the prep for the next day morning breakfast, then tightly cover the bowl with cling wrap and refrigerate.
If making it on the same day, loosely cover the mixture and rest for 15-20 minutes for the bread to soak the mixture.
Butter a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish. Sprinkle rest of the cheese.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 50 minutes to an hour, until the top is browned. The center is set and springs back when touched.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
