Description
A simple and satisfying casserole made with breakfast sausage, eggs, milk, cheese, and optional bread or vegetables, perfect for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
- Optional: 2–3 cups bread cubes (day-old bread) or 1–2 cups diced vegetables (bell peppers, spinach, onions)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease.
- Spread the sausage in the prepared dish.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Layer optional bread cubes or veggies over the sausage.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layers and top with cheese.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until set and lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a lower-carb version, omit the bread cubes and add more vegetables. Use a 9×13 pan for best results, and let it rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
