Breakfast Casserole is a hearty, make-ahead breakfast dish featuring eggs, cheese, sausage, and either bread or potatoes—all baked into a warm, comforting casserole. Perfect for brunch, holidays, or weekly meal prep.

Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk or half-and-half
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage, cooked and crumbled
  • 4 cups bread cubes, shredded hash browns, or tater tots
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or blend)
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley or chives for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer bread or potatoes in the dish. Add sausage and vegetables over top.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and seasonings.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole and top with shredded cheese.
  5. Bake uncovered for 40–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden.
  6. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Make ahead by assembling the night before and baking in the morning.
  • Use crusty or stale bread for best texture.
  • Substitute potatoes for bread if preferred.
  • Try with mushrooms, spinach, or green chiles for variation.
  • Freeze individual slices for easy breakfasts later.
