Ingredients

16 oz bulk breakfast sausage
8 oz mushrooms sliced
8 oz canned chopped green chiles
8 large eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup half and half
Salt and pepper
10 cups French bread cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups shredded cheese
Sour cream, salsa, cilantro, etc for serving

Instructions

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it apart as it is cooking. Cook until cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
16 oz bulk breakfast sausage
Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until browned and softened. Add the green chiles to the skillet and cook another minute or two. Add the sausage back into the skillet and stir to combine. Turn off the heat.
8 oz mushrooms, 8 oz canned chopped green chiles
Add the eggs to a bowl and lightly beat. Add the milk and half and half and season to taste with salt and pepper.
8 large eggs, 2 cups milk, 1/2 cup half and half, Salt and pepper
Place the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Top with the sausage and mushroom mixture. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
10 cups French bread, 2 cups shredded cheese
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top of the cheese, making sure the bread all gets saturated by the egg mixture. Use your hands to press the bread down into the liquid to make sure it is all saturated, if desired.
Cover the dish with foil and refrigerate for 8 hours, or overnight.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Bake the casserole, covered, for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the casserole is baked through and bubbly, another 10-20 minutes.
Let the casserole sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve with sour cream, salsa and cilantro, if desired.
