This Sausage Egg Bake is an easy breakfast recipe made from fresh and simple ingredients! Combine breakfast sausage, greens, broccoli, red pepper, and feta cheese with eggs to create a meal that tastes great for any meal of the day.
Ingredients:
1 pound breakfast sausage
1 yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
5 ounces spinach
1 cup chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped bell pepper
salt and pepper
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
10 eggs
¼ cup milk
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350º F. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray. Add sausage to a large skillet set over medium heat. Crumble and cook for 2 minutes. Add onions and garlic and cook until browned. Add greens, broccoli and red pepper and cook about 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with feta cheese. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and the milk. Pour over sausage-vegetable mixture and bake 25 to 30 minutes or until eggs are set. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
Recipe Tips:
– Chop all veggies evenly, making sure to cut them into the same size for even cooking.
– Grease the casserole dish before baking as the ingredient could stick.
– When pouring the veggie and sausage mixture into the casserole dish, distribute it evenly to make sure you get a taste of everything in each bite.
– Let the sausage egg bake cool slightly before cutting and serving. This gives a chance for the eggs to set which will make them easier to remove from the pan.
Variations:
– Make this breakfast casserole dairy-free by removing the feta cheese. You can leave it out or add your favorite non-dairy shredded cheese substitute.
– A vegetarian breakfast bake is easy to make by removing the breakfast sausage and replacing it with more veggies, or adding a plant-based veggie sausage substitute.
– Change up the cheese: Add cheddar, pepper jack, Gouda, or mozzarella.
– Use paleo breakfast sausage and omit the cheese for a satisfying paleo breakfast.
– Substitute the milk for dairy-free milk, heavy cream or water, if needed.
– Add some spice by sprinkling the top with red chili flake or adding diced jalapeno to the vegetable mixture.
– Add your favorite combination of greens and vegetables.
