Make-ahead mornings just got a serious upgrade. This Greek Freak overnight breakfast casserole layers toasted brioche, savory sausage, and Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean Rub into a rich, eggy bake that does most of the work while you sleep. Assemble it the night before, pop it in the oven in the morning, and let the bold Mediterranean flavors do the talking.

Greek Freak Overnight Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Spiceology Greek Freak Mediterranean Rub
  • 8 cups brioche bread cubes
  • 1 pound sweet Italian Sausage, casings removed
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 9 eggs
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 2 cups Gruyere cheese
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian parsley

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Butter a 3 qt baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter. Set aside.

  2. Place cubed bread on a rimmed baking sheet and toast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
  3. In a medium skillet add the sausage and brown over medium-high heat, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a bowl and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet add 2 tablespoons butter, onion, and red pepper and saute over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the garlic, Greek Freak Mediterranean Rub, and salt. Stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large bowl whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, and parsley until well combined. Stir in bread cubes, sausage and onion mixture. Pour into prepared baking dish. Cover tightly and refrigerate 2 hours, or overnight.
