Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.25 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat, breaking it up into crumbles with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined.
Stir the cooked sausage and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Mix well.
Pour the egg and sausage mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, combine the Rice Krispies cereal and melted butter. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated with butter.
Sprinkle the buttery Rice Krispies mixture over the top of the egg and sausage layer in the casserole dish.
Top the casserole with the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and crispy.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions, if desired, before serving.
