Ingredients
Sausage Layer
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Base
- 1 cup bread cubes (or low-carb substitute for gluten-free option)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage thoroughly until browned and crumbly, then drain excess grease. Spread the cooked sausage evenly in a greased baking dish.
- Mix Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until fully blended.
- Assemble Casserole: Place the bread cubes evenly over the sausage in the baking dish, then pour the egg mixture evenly over the entire dish, ensuring the bread soaks up the mixture.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the casserole is golden on top and the eggs are fully set.
Notes
- Add diced bell peppers or fresh spinach to the egg mixture for added color and nutritional value.
- Use low-carb bread substitutes to make the casserole keto-friendly and gluten-free.
- This dish can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick breakfast option.
