Ingredients
12 large eggs
1 cup milk (whole milk or half-and-half recommended)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup cooked breakfast sausage, crumbled, or bacon, cooked and chopped (optional)
1/2 cup chopped onion, sautéed (optional)
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper, sautéed (optional)
1 cup fresh spinach, wilted (optional)
1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gruyère, or a blend)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until light yellow and slightly frothy.
Step 3: If using, spread the cooked sausage or bacon, sautéed onion, bell pepper, and wilted spinach evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Step 4: Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the meat and vegetable layer.
Step 5: Carefully pour the whisked egg mixture over the cheese, meat, and vegetable layers. Gently shake the dish to ensure even distribution.
Step 6: Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 7: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your ultimate easy egg casserole recipe!
