Steps:
- Preheat oven: To 300 F degrees.
- Prepare bread: Cut the bread into cubes and place them onto a baking sheet. Place the bread into the oven and bake for 10 minutes, just enough to dry the bread out but not toast it. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Prepare sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sausage and cook until onion has softened and sausage is cooked through. Use a wooden spoon to break up the sausage as it cooks. Finally, season with salt and pepper and dry mustard.
- Build casserole: Add half the bread cubes to a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish and top with half of the cooked onions and sausage. Next, add half the chopped bell pepper, chopped green onions, and 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat layers with remaining bread, onion, sausage, bell peppers, green onions, and cheese.
- Prepare the eggs: In a bowl whisk together the eggs and milk and pour over the casserole evenly. Finally, cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and put in the fridge overnight.
- Bake and serve: The next morning, preheat the oven to 350 °F and remove the foil from the casserole dish. Place into the oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes. You'll know the casserole is done if you insert a knife in the centre and if it comes clean, it's done. Serve hot!

OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
I love this recipe because it is really easy to fix the night before when you are having company the next morning or maybe taking it to work or something. This recipe came from the Telephone Pioneers Cookbook "Calling all Cooks."

OVERNIGHT BRUNCH CASSEROLE
I love to cook for company and do brunch frequently. Different from most egg bakes, this casserole combines scrambled eggs and a cheese sauce that bake up into a rich and creamy dish. -Candace Hesch, Mosinee, Wisconsin

OVERNIGHT BREAKFAST/BRUNCH CASSEROLE
This is different than your average breakfast casserole. It is so yummy and easy to put together. You can easily make this into a light dish by substituting egg beaters and light cheese. I've made it both ways and both are equally good! Also, if you cut the recipe in half, use 2 whole eggs and 1 egg white. If you're a vegetarian, this is also good without bacon!

Steps:
- Grease a 9x13-inch pan. Layer brioche cubes evenly in the prepared pan.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, including any rendered bacon fat, and allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Heat a small amount of bacon fat in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and bell pepper until soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat eggs in a large bowl. Mix milk, Cheddar cheese, mustard powder, pepper, and salt into the beaten eggs. Mix in bacon and onion-bell pepper mixture when done. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the brioche bread cubes and give it a gentle stir so everything is evenly distributed. Gently press the cubes into the egg mixture as needed, so all the bread cubes are sitting in the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours, to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack until set, the top is browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the casserole comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving, 5 to 10 minutes.

Tips:
- For a vegetarian casserole, omit the bacon and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- To make the casserole ahead of time, assemble it the night before and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, bake it as directed.
- If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a 10-inch cast iron skillet or a 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
- Serve the casserole with a side of fruit, yogurt, or granola.
- For a cheesy casserole, add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese or mozzarella cheese to the egg mixture.
- For a spicy casserole, add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the egg mixture.
- For a herby casserole, add 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley, chives, or dill to the egg mixture.
