Note
For best results, prepare the casserole the night before. This allows the bread to fully soak up the egg and milk mixture, resulting in a moist, custard-like texture.
You can substitute the sausage with leftover cooked bacon, ham, or vegetables like spinach and bell peppers for a different flavor profile.
If you don't have time to refrigerate overnight, let the mixture sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before baking to allow the bread to soften.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
