Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 pound Ground breakfast sausage
- 8 pieces Eggs
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Steam the broccoli florets until tender (about 4-5 minutes), then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Cook thoroughly until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir the steamed broccoli, cooked sausage, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the breakfast bake cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions and serving. Enjoy your hearty Broccoli Sausage Breakfast Bake!
