How to make a Simple Egg Casserole

Do you want to try something different for breakfast, but you’re feeding picky eaters? Put a spin on things by combining ingredients that you may normally use to make a hot breakfast. It’s so simple that even picky eaters will love this egg casserole.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 6 or 7 eggs
• 4 or 5 slices of bread
• 1 package of sausage or bacon
• 9x13 inch pan
• 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• cooking spray
• salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat oven to about 350 degrees. On the stove chop and fully cook a pack of breakfast sausage. You really could use any sausage spicy, turkey, etc. When done drain any oil and let sausage cool. You could also use bacon or omit the meat completely.

2. 

   Tear about 4 or 5 bread slices into pieces. In a large bowl combine bread pieces, cooked sausage and 1 cup of shredded cheese and stir.

3. 

   In a separate bowl, mix about 6 or 7 eggs with 1 ½ cups of milk and stir. Also at this time add any seasoning you’d like such as salt, pepper and minced onion desired.

4. Spray your pan with cooking spray. For this portion pan should be at least 9x13 inches big. Spread your dry ingredients from step 2 into the pan. Pour your egg mixture evenly over your dry ingredients.

5. If you like it cheesy, sprinkle about a ½ cup of extra cheese over your dish. Now at this point some people place it into their refrigerator over night, but from experience I’ve found that step unnecessary. If you’d like though, you could wrap it up and place it in the fridge for a couple of hours.

6. 

   Place it in the oven and let bake for about 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly golden. Enjoy and watch those picky eaters ask for seconds! This should comfortably feed about 4 or 5 people, but if you need to make more simply double you ingredients.

Tips & Warnings

• To make it even better add hash browns
• You can use egg substitutes
• You can use half and half instead of milk
• you can use any kind of bread you like or even croutons
• If you omit the meat you can add veggies
• Try not to over cook too much or it will taste rubbery
