Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound sausage
- 8 eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Supporting Ingredients:
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 cup diced onions
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Warm your oven to precisely 350°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position.
- Brown 1 pound of sausage in a skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles until no pink remains, about 6-8 minutes.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and vigorously whisk 8 eggs with 2 cups milk, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon paprika until completely smooth.
- Fold 1 cup shredded cheese, 1 cup diced bell peppers, and 1 cup diced onions into the egg mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
- Add the cooked sausage into the bowl and gently blend all ingredients until well combined.
- Coat a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray, then carefully pour the entire mixture into the dish.
- Slide the casserole into the preheated oven and bake for exactly 35 minutes, checking that the center is set and the top turns golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, which helps the eggs settle and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into generous squares and serve warm directly from the baking dish.
Notes
- Let the casserole rest a few minutes after baking to help it set and make cutting easier.
- Swap pork sausage for turkey sausage to reduce fat and calories in the dish.
- Chop vegetables finely so they distribute evenly throughout the egg mixture and cook consistently.
- Spray your baking dish with cooking spray for super easy cleanup and no sticking.
