Sausage Egg Casserole:

Common Questions to make a great Egg Casserole:
What is in a Sausage and Egg Casserole?
The egg casserole is filled with flavor from sausage, pepper, shallots, broccoli, red peppers, and cheese! Such a delicious breakfast casserole that is also low-carb and Keto friendly.
Can I swap out an ingredient in the Egg Casserole?
The versatility of my sausage and egg casserole is another reason I love it! Follow the recipe exactly or sub out an ingredient! My Mom doesn’t like broccoli, so I substitute spinach or zucchini when I am making her this recipe.
What cheese is best to make a tasty Sausage and Egg Casserole?
Cheddar is generally what I use as that is what my family enjoys. Colby Jack, Swiss, Gruyere cheese all work! Any combo your family enjoys will work.
The recipe uses frozen broccoli florets, can fresh broccoli be used?
After making this breakfast casserole many times, frozen broccoli florets are the easiest! If using fresh broccoli florets, add them in with the red pepper. You may need to saute about 5-6 minutes to ensure the broccoli is cooked through.
Can this Breakfast Casserole be frozen?
Yes. After baking you can freeze the extra pieces individually, well wrapped and defrost overnight as needed. Reheat at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes.
Pro tips for making a great Sausage and Egg Casserole:
- Use fresh breakfast sausage and remove from casing.
- After sauteeing the sausage, drain and discard excess fat so your casserole is not greasy.
- After trying both fresh and frozen broccoli florets. Frozen broccoli is easier to use for this recipe.
- Semi-defrost the broccoli and chop it up for the casserole.
- Pre-shredded cheese can be used as a shortcut in this recipe.
How to make Sausage and Egg Casserole
- Preheat oven 375 degrees.
- Spray a 9 by 13 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray. Set aside.
- Saute the sausage meat until all browned.
- Remove sausage and set aside. Drain off any excess fat from the pan
- Saute shallot and red pepper until they get soft, about 4 minutes. Add in the broccoli and saute another minute.
- Stir in the cooked crumbled sausage.
- Pour the sausage mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mixture.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, parsley, basil, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to combine well.
- Pour over the sausage mix.
- Bake uncovered for 30 minutes. Check center of the casserole, should not be jiggly! (jiggly being my very technical cooking term) Take out, let sit a few minutes and slice!
- If center is still not done, check after another 5 minutes.
