Sausage and Egg Casserole
Ingredients
- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 6 egg
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a frying pan, cook breakfast sausage for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat, breaking the sausage into fine bite-size pieces.
- While the sausage is cooking in a large bowl, beat eggs with heavy cream, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth. Then add in ¼ cup of the shredded cheese. Mix again.
- Spray an 8x8 glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Then add the egg mixture to the casserole dish followed by the cooked ground sausage and top with the remaining ¼ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the oven for 23-25 minutes at 400 degrees uncovered. Remove from the oven, cut into equal pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
- Larger Amount - Looking to feed a crowd? Simply double this recipe and use a 9x12 glass baking dish instead.
- Cooking Time - Cooking time may vary depending on the way your oven cooks plus how you like your eggs. I have found that 25 minutes is the perfect amount of time for my oven leaving the casserole moist and fluffy. If you like a dryer egg you may want to leave it in a little longer. Ultimately, you do not want the middle to be jiggly--you want the eggs to have set.
- Leftovers - This casserole is perfect to make on a Sunday, then reheat leftovers for a quick nutritious breakfast the next few day. Simply refrigerate any leftovers. You can reheat in the microwave in 30 second increments.
Modifications -
Cream Cheese - If I want to make the casserole creamier I sometimes will add in an additional half cup of whipped cream cheese Sour Cream - For a little tang I'll add in a half cup of sour cream. Cream - If you find that you don't have heavy cream on hand, no worries. You can substitute it with half and half or even milk. Veggies - Want to use up some veggies in the refrigerator? Some of the veggies that I like to add into this sausage and egg casserole are onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. If I add the veggies into the casserole I will saute them with the sausage to ensure they are cooked through before adding it to the raw egg mixture. Make sure to cut them into-bite size pieces, too! Dairy Free - Make this casserole dairy free by omitting the heavy cream and cheese. Bread - To use up bread I have added a few slices of cubed bread into the egg mixture. This will also stretch the casserole a bit further especially when you are entertaining for a crowd.
