Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Place sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain grease and set aside.
Step 2
Spread bread pieces in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter, then sprinkle with cooked sausage. Cover with cheese.
Step 3
Whisk together eggs, milk, white wine, green onions, and Dijon mustard in a large bowl. Season with black pepper and red pepper flakes. Pour egg mixture over sausage in the baking dish. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
Step 4
Remove the dish from the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking to let it come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
Step 5
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for 30 more minutes.
Step 6
Remove from the oven and spread sour cream over the top. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven and bake until cheese begins to brown slightly, about 10 minutes.
