Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk or half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (or a vegetarian alternative)
- 1 cup diced onions
- 1 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
- 2 cups fresh spinach (or other greens)
- 2 cups cubed bread (preferably day-old or slightly toasted)
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the baking dish)
Instructions
- Cook the sausage in a skillet until browned. Sauté onions, bell peppers, and spinach until softened. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme. Stir in the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and cheese.
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the cubed bread evenly over the bottom of the dish. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, ensuring the bread is well-coated.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to let the bread soak up the egg mixture.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden and the center is set.
