A cozy, crowd-pleasing breakfast casserole made with eggs, cheese, and sausage, perfect for feeding a group.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (whole, 2%, or unsweetened plant-based)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup diced cooked turkey or chicken
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Optional: 1 small diced onion
  • Optional: 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • Optional: 1 cup sliced mushrooms, sautéed
  • Optional: 1/2 cup diced tomatoes or salsa
  • Optional: 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • Optional: 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • Optional: 1 cup cooked, diced potatoes or small cubes of bread
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded pepper jack or mozzarella

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. If using raw sausage, crumble and cook in a skillet until browned, then drain excess fat.
  3. Dice your cooked turkey or chicken and bell peppers, sautéing any additional veggies as needed.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  5. Stir in cooked sausage, turkey, bell peppers, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Optionally, sprinkle extra cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, checking for doneness at 20 minutes. The center should be set and a knife inserted should come out clean.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
