Sausage Egg Bake
This Sausage Egg Bake layers cooked breakfast sausage, sautéed vegetables, and crumbled feta cheese in a baking dish, then is topped with a whisked egg and milk mixture and baked until set. The combination produces a savory, hearty dish with tender cooked vegetables and a firm, custardy egg texture, making it useful for a filling breakfast or brunch option that can be prepared ahead and reheated.
