Notes

Day-old bread is essential to prevent the casserole from becoming soggy.

If using fresh bread, toast it lightly in the oven first to dry it out.

The casserole can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Substitute sausage with ham, bacon, or plant-based crumbles for variety.
