Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Crack 12 eggs into a large bowl and beat them until foamy; set aside.

Place 1.5 lbs of ground breakfast sausage into a skillet and brown it over medium-high heat, breaking it into pieces as it cooks.

Once browned, drain off the grease and set the sausage aside to cool.

Lightly grease a 9 by 13-inch baking dish.

Pour the beaten eggs into the prepared baking dish.

Tear 7 slices of white bread into pieces and add them to a mixing bowl.

Add the browned sausage to the bread and then add 12 oz of shredded cheddar cheese; mix well.

Pour the bread and sausage mixture into the eggs, spreading it around to distribute evenly in the pan.

Top the casserole with 4 oz of shredded cheddar cheese.

Cover the pan with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and bubbly.

Serve hot.
