Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 pounds pork sausage
- 12 eggs
- 1 cup sour cream (light or regular)
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 green onions
- 1/2 green bell pepper , diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper , diced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
How To Make Breakfast Casserole Recipe?
- Preheat the oven: Preheat to 180°C / 350°F and grease a 23x33cm / 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Mix the egg base: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper until just combined.
- Cook the sausage: Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small pieces. Drain most of the grease, then stir the sausage into the egg mixture.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, cook the green onions and diced bell peppers for 2–3 minutes. Add them to the egg mixture and stir until fully combined.
- Bake the casserole: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35–50 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just barely jiggly.
- Store leftovers: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days. Reheat leftovers in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
Recipe Tips:
- Cook sausage properly: Make sure to brown the sausage thoroughly and drain most of the grease to avoid a greasy casserole.
- Whisk eggs carefully: Mix the eggs, sour cream, and milk until just combined—overmixing can make the casserole dense instead of fluffy.
- Use fresh vegetables: Fresh peppers and onions give the casserole the best flavor and texture, so avoid canned or frozen veggies if possible.
- Grease the dish well: Use cooking spray or butter to coat the baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Bake evenly: Check the casserole after 35 minutes. The edges should be firm, and the center should jiggle slightly but not be runny.
How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: First, let the leftover breakfast casserole cool to room temperature. Then, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
- Freeze: Allow the casserole to cool completely, then wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, transfer to the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Place the portion in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Cover with a lid and heat flipping once for even warming.
