Dice the bread (croissant toast) and layer it in the greased casserole tin.

In a bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.

Add the cooled sausage to the egg mixture.

Pour in 1 can of evaporated milk and thin it out with 12 oz of water to mimic whole milk.

Fold in 2 handfuls of sharp cheddar cheese, reserving another handful for topping.

Add the custard mixture to the cubed bread in the casserole tin, ensuring everything is well mixed and the bread is saturated.

Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.

Add a few pats of butter on top and sprinkle with black pepper.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
