Description
Start your day off right with a comforting and satisfying Sausage and Egg Casserole. This savory baked dish combines flavorful breakfast sausage, fluffy eggs, melty cheese, and fresh vegetables for a complete morning meal that’s perfect for both weekdays and weekend brunches.
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cup bread cubes
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
- 4 green onions, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and crumbly. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
3. In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and sliced green onions for 2-3 minutes, until they’re just softened.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper.
5. Add the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and bread cubes to the egg mixture, stirring to combine everything evenly.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out in an even layer.
7. Bake the casserole uncovered for 35-50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
8. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For a low-carb variation, substitute the bread cubes with riced cauliflower or diced zucchini.
Use stale or lightly toasted bread cubes to prevent sogginess.
Experiment with different types of sausage, cheese blends, and vegetable additions to suit your preferences.
