Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium, diced green bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray or butter.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, until softened. Remove the vegetables and set aside.
In the same skillet, cook the ground sausage over medium heat, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until fully combined.
Spread the cooked sausage evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the sautéed vegetables on top of the sausage.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the dish, ensuring it spreads evenly to cover all the ingredients.
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before slicing and serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your savory egg casserole!
