Why This Sausage and Egg Casserole Is a Winner

What makes this casserole stand out is its combination of classic breakfast flavors with unbeatable convenience. The spiced pork sausage provides a satisfying savory base, while eggs and cheese create an irresistibly creamy texture. Everything comes together in one baking dish, saving you time and cutting down on cleanup.

Plus, it’s endlessly adaptable—swap in your favorite cheese, add vegetables, or use a different type of sausage depending on your taste. It reheats wonderfully, making it a smart option for meal-prepping breakfast for the week ahead.

Prepping Your Ingredients Efficiently

To streamline prep, chop onions, bell peppers, or any veggies you’d like to include with the Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper—it makes uniform cuts in seconds, saving time and boosting presentation.

When it comes time to brown your sausage, reach for the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch. Its superior nonstick surface ensures easy browning and releases meats without sticking, speeding up both cooking and cleanup.

Easy Assembly for a Foolproof Casserole

Once your ingredients are prepped and sausage is browned, layer everything in a greased baking dish. For perfectly whisked eggs and milk, a blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender can quickly blend your mixture until it’s light and fully combined, ensuring a fluffier final bake.

Protect your pan and prevent sticking by lining it with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll. This makes lifting and serving the finished casserole effortless and guarantees easy cleanup.

Serving and Storing for Maximum Freshness

Once baked, let your casserole rest for a few minutes to make slicing easier. For meal prep or packing leftovers, portion servings into Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) to keep individual portions fresh (and ideal for on-the-go breakfasts).

Serve warm as-is or with a side of fresh fruit, a crisp green salad, or some warm toast for a balanced breakfast. If bringing to a brunch, transport in a sturdy carrier, and use a Pureegg Plastic Table Cloth Disposable 10 Pack, White at your serving station for a fuss-free, easy-clean setup.

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with a sheet of Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll for easy removal and cleanup.
2. In a SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch, cook sausage over medium heat, breaking apart with a spatula until browned and no longer pink. If using, add diced onions and bell peppers and sauté until softened. Drain any excess fat.
3. Spread the cubed bread in an even layer in the prepared baking dish. Top with the cooked sausage mixture and sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sausages.
4. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and dried herbs until well blended—or use a Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender for extra fluffy eggs.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, sausage, and cheese. Gently press down with a spatula to ensure all bread cubes soak up the liquid.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results (optional but recommended for a richer flavor and texture).
7. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. If needed, test with a knife or meat thermometer to ensure the middle reaches at least 160°F.
8. Remove from oven and let rest 5–10 minutes before slicing.
