Description
A versatile breakfast casserole loaded with eggs, sausage or turkey, and vegetables, perfect for brunch gatherings or a cozy family breakfast.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb of cooked sausage or smoked turkey
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups of milk
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 5 cups of cubed bread (day-old preferred)
- 1 cup of chopped vegetables (bell peppers, onions, or spinach)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage or smoked turkey until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer the cubed bread, followed by the cooked sausage or turkey, chopped vegetables, and cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is coated.
- Let the casserole sit for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the bread to soak up the egg mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown and set in the center.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
For best texture, use day-old bread. Customize with your favorite vegetables or proteins. Consider adding spices for extra flavor.
