Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the cubed bread to the bowl and gently mix to coat the bread.
Stir in the cooked sausage, cheddar, and mozzarella cheese.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

You can assemble this casserole the night before and refrigerate it overnight. Just pop it in the oven in the morning.
Try adding sautéed bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrients.

Great for freezing – cut into squares and store in airtight containers for quick breakfasts.
