Ingredients

1 pound (453 g) pork sausage
1 tablespoon (14 g) unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion , chopped
1 medium green pepper , chopped
1 medium red pepper , chopped
1 teaspoon (5 g) minced garlic
10 large eggs
2 cups (480 ml) whole milk
1-1 ½ cups (113 - 169 g) shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon (12 g) Creole seasoning
½ teaspoon (2 g)salt
1 teaspoon (4 g) baking powder
⅓ cup (83 ml) melted butter
2 cups (60 g) cubed bread

Instructions

In a large, deep skillet, cook sausages over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until sausages are no longer pink, crumbly and evenly brown. Drain well using a colander to get rid of excess grease and set aside to cool.
Melt butter in the skillet, add onions, green and red pepper and garlic. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside and let it cool.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Stir in the sausage, onions, green and red pepper, add shredded cheese, Creole seasoning, salt, baking powder and melted butter. Mix until fully combined.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and place cubed bread inside.
Pour the sausage and egg mixture over the baking dish, making sure it spreads well over the bread.
Bake for about 40 to 45 minutes in the preheated oven, or until lightly brown. Let it stand for about 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm.
