Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess fat.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, sage, and red pepper flakes.
Add cubed bread, cooked sausage, green bell pepper, onion, and 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheese to the egg mixture. Stir until combined.
Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

For added flavor, top with chopped fresh parsley and serve with a side of fresh fruit or holiday jam.
