Description

A filling breakfast casserole combining eggs, meats, and vegetables, perfect for make-ahead meals.


Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cups cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or bacon
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 4 cups cubed stale bread


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir in the bell peppers, onions, cooked sausage or bacon, and half of the cheese.
  4. Add the cubed bread to the mixture and gently fold until evenly combined.
  5. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and top with the remaining cheese.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, exclude meat or use alternatives. Let the casserole sit for a few minutes before slicing for best results.
