Ingredients

12 eggs, beaten
1.5 pounds ground breakfast sausage
16 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
7 slices white bread, torn into pieces

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Brown sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat until cooked. Drain off any excess grease, then set aside to cool slightly. Pour the beaten eggs into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a separate large bowl, combine the browned sausage, cubed bread, and 12 ounces of the shredded cheese. Mix all ingredients thoroughly and then pour this mixture evenly into the egg-filled baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining 4 ounces of cheese on top and cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue to bake until the egg casserole is golden brown and bubbly, indicating it's fully cooked.
