1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
salt and pepper, to taste
8 cups day-old white or sourdough bread, cut into 1-inch cubes (about 10 oz)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
½ cup heavy cream
1 tsp dijon mustard
¼ tsp dried thyme
1 tbsp unsalted butter, for the baking dish

Instructions

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spoon, until browned and cooked through with no pink remaining, about 6–8 minutes. Transfer the sausage to a plate, leaving about 1 tbsp of drippings in the skillet.
2
Return the skillet to medium heat. Add the onion and red bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach, garlic powder, and smoked paprika and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
