Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb breakfast sausage
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced tomatoes, hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the Sausage: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add the onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly in the baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make Ahead: You can assemble the casserole up to 24 hours in advance. Just cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake.
- Freeze: To freeze, let the casserole cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
- Customize: Feel free to add extra vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini. You can also swap out the sausage for bacon or ham.
