Instructions

Grease a 9x13x2-inch casserole dish.
Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until cooked through.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
Layer half the bread in the prepared casserole dish, followed by half the cheese, half the black pepper, half the red pepper, and half the sausage. Repeat the layers.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole.
Cover and refrigerate overnight, or bake immediately.
Preheat oven to 325°F and bake uncovered for 60-75 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Cover loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
Sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving, if desired.
