A hearty and easy-to-make casserole with sausage, eggs, cheese, and optional bread and vegetables. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

1 pound breakfast sausage (Italian or spicy sausage works well too)

6 large eggs

1 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese blend)

2 cups bread cubes (optional)

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

¼ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ cup diced bell peppers (optional)

½ cup chopped spinach (optional)

¼ cup diced onions (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 7×11-inch (or 8×11-inch) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until well combined.
  4. Layer the cooked sausage, vegetables (if using), and shredded cheese in the prepared baking dish. Add bread cubes if using. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
  5. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Notes

  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated overnight before baking.
  • Can be frozen for up to 2 months and reheated from frozen.
  • Customize with your choice of vegetables or cheese.
  • Use dairy-free milk and cheese for a dairy-free version.
  • Make it spicier by adding diced jalapeños or cayenne pepper.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
