Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 cups Cooked breakfast sausage or bacon (crumbled)
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Diced bread (stale or fresh, about 1-inch cubes)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Lightly spray a microwave-safe baking dish or casserole dish (approximately 8x8 inches) with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Add the diced bread, cooked sausage or bacon crumbles, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions (if using) to the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together until the bread is just coated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Microwave on high power for 5-6 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the casserole is cooked through. Check halfway through cooking to ensure the casserole is not overcooking and adjust based on your microwave’s power.
Remove the casserole from the microwave and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Optionally, garnish with extra green onions or a dash of hot sauce.
