Description

A fantastic breakfast casserole that transforms morning routines into delicious feasts, perfect for family gatherings or meal prepping.


Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk (whole or low-fat)
  • 6 slices of bread, cubed
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage (or turkey/plant-based sausage)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, brown the breakfast sausage over medium heat until fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary, and set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Fold in the cubed bread, cooked sausage, diced bell pepper, and chopped onion into the egg mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
  5. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the mixture into it. Spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Top with shredded cheese.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Consider using stale or day-old bread for best results. Customize with different vegetables or cheese combinations for varying flavors.
