Step 1

In a sauté pan over medium high heat, add the sausage and cook until it has browned and the fat has rendered, adding a tablespoon of butter if necessary to start. Remove sausage from pan, leaving the fat, then add the onion and cook until softened, about 4 to 5 minutes, adding a tablespoon of butter if necessary. Season and set both aside to cool. Keep overnight in fridge

Preheat oven to 350F.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and parsley.

In a large bowl, toss together the cooled sausage and onion, the cubes of bread, the cheese and the milk mixture.

Grease a casserole dish with butter. Scrape all of the sausage and bread mixture into the casserole. Bake at 350F for 30-45 minutes or until golden brown and liquid has fluffed and absorbed.
