Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 10 eggs
- 1 1/3 cups milk
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups cubed croissant rolls
- 12 ounces breakfast sausage links or ground breakfast sausage (cooked and chopped)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Mix Egg Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, diced bell peppers, sliced green onions, and seasoned salt until well combined.
- Layer Bread in Dish: Spread the cubed croissant rolls evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch baking dish as the base of the casserole.
- Add Sausage and Cheese: Sprinkle the cooked and chopped breakfast sausage over the cubed croissant rolls, then top evenly with shredded cheese.
- Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered bread, sausage, and cheese ensuring it soaks through the casserole.
- Refrigerate or Bake: Cover the dish and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and bread to soak, or bake immediately. If baking right away, bake for 30 minutes or until the center is set and the casserole is cooked through.
Notes
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for convenience.
- Feel free to substitute the breakfast sausage with turkey sausage or another protein if preferred.
- Use any type of shredded cheese you like such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for different flavors.
- Adding extra vegetables like mushrooms or spinach can increase nutrition and flavor.
- Ensure the casserole is fully set in the center before removing from the oven to avoid runny eggs.
