Easy Sausage and Egg Casserole

This cozy sausage and egg casserole is everything you want in a breakfast: hearty, flavorful, and incredibly easy to throw together. Whether you’re meal prepping for the week or feeding a hungry brunch crowd, this dish never disappoints. 🥚🧀

Ingredients:

1 lb breakfast sausage (Italian or spicy)
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
2 cups bread cubes (optional)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp smoked paprika
½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)
½ cup chopped spinach (optional)
¼ cup diced onions (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat the oven:
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 7×11 or 8×11-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Cook the sausage:
In a medium skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, crumbling it as it cooks. Once fully browned, drain any excess grease and set it aside. 🔥
Whisk the eggs:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until fully combined.
Layer the ingredients:
In the greased baking dish, layer the cooked sausage, optional vegetables (like peppers, spinach, and onions), and shredded cheese. If using, scatter the bread cubes evenly across the top.
Add the egg mixture:
Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the dish, making sure everything is evenly coated.
Bake:
Bake uncovered for 30–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Cool and serve:
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy every comforting bite! 😋

Pro Tips:

Make Ahead: Prep the night before and refrigerate. Just bake in the morning!
No Bread? No Problem: You can skip the bread for a low-carb version.
Spice It Up: Add jalapeños or use spicy sausage for a kick.
