Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 pound Sausage Use your favorite breakfast sausage or turkey sausage.
  • 6 large Eggs Fresh eggs yield the best results.
  • 1 cup Milk Substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Balances flavors.
For the Flavor Boost
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese Feel free to use pepper jack for a spicy kick.
  • 1 medium Onion Diced bell peppers can also be used.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Fresh garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Adjust to taste.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1 cup Spinach Use fresh or frozen.
  • 1 cup Tomatoes Diced fresh tomatoes or sun-dried.
  • Herbs Fresh parsley or chives for garnish.

Equipment

  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • large skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Cook your choice of breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Gradually add the milk, salt, and pepper, whisking until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Add the cooled sausage to the egg mixture. If you're including optional add-ins like spinach or diced tomatoes, stir them in now.
  5. Fold in the grated cheddar cheese gently. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but still fluffy. A firm but soft center is ideal.
  7. Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh ingredients and avoid overmixing the sausage with the egg mixture to prevent a denser texture.
