This hearty breakfast casserole is a timeless family favorite. Made with eggs, sausage or bacon, cheese, and either bread cubes or hash browns, it’s a comforting and satisfying dish perfect for holiday mornings, weekend brunches, or meal prepping. Make it ahead for an easy, no-stress breakfast!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 lb breakfast sausage or bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 4 cups bread cubes (or 3 cups frozen hash browns)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • ½ tsp onion powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Meat: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned or cook the bacon until crispy. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Base: Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread bread cubes or hash browns evenly in the dish.
  3. Whisk the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Layer the cooked sausage or bacon over the bread or hash browns, then sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
  5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake uncovered for 35-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Serve: Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Assemble the casserole the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning for a stress-free breakfast.
  • Customization: Add bell peppers, onions, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Cheese Options: Try swapping cheddar for mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend.
