Ingredients
1 lb ground breakfast sausage
1 bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking into crumbles.
- Add bell pepper and onion; sauté until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Transfer sausage and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over sausage and vegetables.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is lightly golden.
- Cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Swap sausage for turkey, spicy sausage, or vegetarian sausage as desired.
- Add extra vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or diced tomatoes—just cook out excess moisture first.
- Use different cheeses such as mozzarella, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for a flavor twist.
- For a heartier casserole, add a layer of hash browns before the sausage mixture.
