Ingredients :

This recipe uses simple, pantry-friendly ingredients that come together beautifully:

• Eggs: The base of the casserole, providing protein and structure.
• Milk: Adds creaminess and helps blend the eggs. For extra richness, use half milk and half cream.
• Cooked Sausage: Brings savory flavor and protein. Use pork, turkey, or plant-based sausage for variety.
• Shredded Cheese: Cheddar adds sharpness, but Monterey Jack, Swiss, or pepper jack also work well.
• Bread Cubes: Slightly dried or day-old bread soaks up the egg mixture for a soft texture. Substitute with shredded hash browns for a gluten-free option.

Options and Substitutions

• Sausage: Swap with diced ham, cooked bacon, or plant-based sausage for different flavors.
• Cheese: Try Gruyere or a smoky Gouda for a unique twist.
• Vegetables: Add chopped bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.
• Healthier Choices: Use whole-wheat bread cubes and reduced-fat cheese.

Step-by-Step Instructions :

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together 8-10 eggs, 2 cups of milk, and 1 teaspoon of salt (optional) until fully blended.
3. Combine Ingredients: Stir in the browned sausage, shredded cheese, and cubed bread. Mix until all ingredients are evenly coated.
4. Assemble the Casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
5. Bake: Bake for 30-45 minutes or until the center is set, and the edges are golden. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for the Perfect Casserole

1. Use Quality Ingredients: High-quality sausage and fresh eggs make a noticeable difference.
2. Don’t Overcook: Check for doneness at 30 minutes to prevent a dry casserole.
3. Prep Ahead: Assemble the night before and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.

Variations :

1. Veggie Lover’s Delight: Add 1 cup of chopped bell peppers, onions, and spinach to the mixture. Sauté the vegetables before adding for extra flavor.
2. Spicy Fiesta: Include 1 diced jalapeño, ½ cup of chopped green chiles, and a sprinkle of taco seasoning. Top with shredded pepper jack cheese.
3. Cheesy Hash Brown Bake: Replace bread cubes with 3 cups of shredded hash browns and sprinkle an extra layer of cheese on top before baking.

Serving Suggestions :

Serve this Easy Egg Sausage Casserole alongside fresh fruit, a dollop of sour cream, or avocado slices for a balanced breakfast. Pair with fluffy pancakes or a side of crispy bacon for a brunch feast.

Storage and Leftovers :

1. Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
2. Freeze: Cool the casserole completely, portion into slices, and freeze for up to 3 months.
3. Reheat: Microwave individual slices for 1-2 minutes or bake at 300°F until heated through.

FAQs About Easy Egg & Sausage Casserole :

1. Can I prepare this casserole the night before?
   Absolutely! Assemble the casserole as instructed, cover it tightly, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, let it come to room temperature while preheating the oven, then bake as directed.
2. Can I use store-bought pre-cooked sausage?
   Yes, using pre-cooked sausage is a great time-saver. Just crumble or chop it into small pieces and mix it into the casserole.
3. What can I use instead of bread cubes?
   Shredded hash browns or tater tots are excellent substitutes for bread cubes. They add a different texture while soaking up the egg mixture.
4. How do I know when the casserole is done?
   Insert a toothpick or knife into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean or with minimal crumbs, it’s ready. The top should also be golden brown.
5. Can I freeze the uncooked casserole?
   While freezing the cooked casserole is best, you can freeze the uncooked mixture in an airtight container. Thaw it overnight in the fridge before baking.
