Swaggerty’s Farm Overnight Breakfast Casserole

directions

Prepare Sausage Mixture

Brown Swaggerty’s Farm sausage in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess grease. Add onion and red pepper; cook 5–6 minutes until softened and lightly browned. Season with granulated garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Assemble Casserole

Lightly grease a small casserole dish (8×8 or similar). Arrange bread evenly in the dish. Distribute sausage mixture over bread.

Prepare Custard

Whisk eggs and half-and-half together. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Build

Pour custard evenly over bread and sausage. Press gently to ensure full absorption. Sprinkle with parsley and top with shredded cheddar.

Rest (Recommended)

Cover and refrigerate overnight (or at least 60 minutes) for the best texture.

Bake

Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, until eggs are set but still tender.
