Easy Egg and Sausage Casserole

 

Ingredients

• 8 - 10 eggs scrambled with a fork
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese we like sharp cheddar
• 1 teaspoon salt optional
• 1 pound browned sausage
• 2 slices bread cut into cubes & slightly dried
• 2 cups milk

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350°F.  Grease 9 x 13  
• Scramble eggs in a mixing bowl and then stir in milk.
  8 - 10 eggs, 2 cups milk
• Add remaining ingredients to mixing bowl and stir well, pour into pan and bake for 30 - 45 minutes.
  1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 pound browned sausage, 2 slices bread

Notes

• Since the number of eggs can be varied the thickness of the casserole will affect baking time
• Milk can be substituted for half milk and half cream or half and half for a richer casserole
• To make a bacon sausage and egg casserole use half a pound of sausage and half a pound of bacon
• Original, maple or zesty sausage can be used, find your favorite flavor and enjoy
• Bread should be slightly dried out or toasted before cutting into cubes. We've prefer smaller cubes as they mix in with the other ingredients to create the best flavors in every bite
• To freeze casserole cut into individual servings, allow to cool, wrap in a paper towel and freeze individual portions in freezer bags

Healthy Breakfast Casserole

 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  
  
  
• 2 medium red bell peppers, chopped (about 2 cups)
• ¾ cup thinly sliced green onion (about 1 small bunch)
• 5 ounces roughly chopped spinach (about 5 cups)
• 12 eggs
• 3 tablespoons full-fat dairy (heavy cream, half-and-half, whole milk, sour cream or yogurt)
• Several dashes of your favorite hot sauce, like Cholula
• ½ teaspoon fine salt
• 10 twists of freshly ground black pepper
• 4 ounces (1 cup) crumbled feta or goat cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 9 by 13-inch pan with butter (don’t be tempted to use cooking spray; it doesn’t work nearly as well). 
2. In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.  Add the bell pepper and green onion and cook until the pepper is tender and cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes. 
3. Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, while stirring, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Set the pan aside to cool for a bit while we prepare the egg mixture. 
4. Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add your dairy of choice, several dashes of hot sauce, plus the salt and pepper. Whisk just until the egg yolks and whites are blended. 
5. Stir in half of the cheese (we’re reserving the other half for topping the frittata before baking). Transfer the lightly cooled veggies into the bowl, and stir to combine. 
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Evenly disperse the remaining cheese on top. 
7. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata just barely jiggles when you give it a gentle shimmy. For good measure, insert a fork about ¼-inch into the center of the eggs and make sure the fork comes out clean
8. Place the frittata on a cooling rack until you’re ready to serve. Slice with a sharp knife, and serve. Leftovers will keep well for about four days in the refrigerator. Enjoy leftovers chilled, at room temperature, or gently reheat in the microwave or oven.  Recipe and picture from Cookie and Kate
