How to Make the Recipe
Now, let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps to create your Egg Bake Breakfast masterpiece:
- Preheat your oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and lightly grease a 20×30 cm baking dish.
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the diced sausage and cook until browned. Remove from heat and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano until well combined.
- Add the cooled sausage and vegetable mixture to the egg mixture, then fold in the diced bread until evenly coated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Egg And Sausage Casserole turns out perfectly:
- Feel free to swap out the sausage for turkey or chicken sausage for a lighter option.
- Add in your favorite veggies like spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, try adding jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- For a creamier texture, use half-and-half instead of milk.
- Let the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking; this helps it set and makes slicing easier.
How to Serve
This Sausage And Egg Breakfast Casserole is best served warm, straight from the oven. Pair it with a fresh fruit salad or a side of Cucumber Vinegar Salad for a refreshing contrast. You can also serve it alongside Creamy Cucumber Salad for a delightful crunch. If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try it with a drizzle of hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream?
Make Ahead and Storage
This casserole is perfect for meal prep! You can assemble it the night before and store it in the fridge, then simply pop it in the oven in the morning. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through. If you want to freeze it, cut it into portions and wrap them tightly before freezing. It’s a fantastic option for quick family dinners during busy weeknights!
