This is a perfect dish for hosting breakfast or brunch - it feeds a lot of people and is assembled the night before so all you have to do is pop it in the oven. It is also very customizable; I’ve done a vegetarian version with sautéed mushrooms that was really good too!
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toast bread on a rimmed baking sheet until dry, 8–10 minutes
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, breaking into pieces with a spatula, until browned, about 7 minutes.
Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Arrange 6 bread slices in dish in one layer, covering bottom of pan completely and cutting slices to fit if needed. Tear remaining slice into smaller pieces to fill in any gaps.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to baking dish, scattering over bread.
Heat skillet over medium and add white and pale green scallion parts. Cook, stirring, until softened and just starting to take on color, about 3 minutes. Add spinach, stir to combine, and cook until warmed through, 1–2 minutes more. Top sausage with spinach mixture, then top spinach mixture with cheese.
Whisk eggs, milk, yogurt, mustard, salt, pepper, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Gently pour over casserole. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight.
Uncover dish and transfer to a cold oven. Heat oven to 375°F and bake casserole until eggs are puffed and cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
Let casserole cool several minutes. Top with dark green scallion parts.
