Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 10 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Layer the cooked sausage evenly at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Distribute the broccoli florets evenly across the sausage layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and broccoli, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
