Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Vegetables
- 2 cups diced vegetables (bell peppers, onions, spinach)
Other
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 loaf of bread, cubed
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole evenly.
- Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey sausage until browned, breaking it apart to ensure even cooking.
- Mix Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked sausage, shredded cheese, diced vegetables, and cubed bread to the egg mixture and gently stir to combine all components evenly.
- Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish and bake for 45 minutes or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. Let cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to firm up.
Notes
- Use any combination of vegetables you prefer or have on hand, such as mushrooms or zucchini.
- Stale bread works best for soaking up the egg mixture.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle additional cheese on top midway through baking.
- Make ahead by assembling the night before and refrigerating; bake in the morning.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
