1

Cook the ground sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until browned and fully cooked, about 5 minutes. Drain the extra grease.
2

Spread the English muffin pieces across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage, onions, bell peppers, and Cheddar cheese over the English muffin pieces.
3

Combine the eggs, milk, basil, and pepper in a bowl; whisk until well blended. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish. Gently press down on the top of the casserole mixture with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for 8 hours to overnight.
4

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
5

Uncover the casserole and bake in the preheated oven until it is set and the eggs are cooked, about 35 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife. Let cool for 15 minutes before eating.
