Notes:
I know I said this is perfect to make for a crowd, but you can also definitely make this for yourself, store the leftovers in the fridge for up to a week, and reheat it one serving at a time for a super easy breakfast meal prep. No judgments here, I've definitely done it.Also, you can omit the second cup of cheese as a topping if you're trying to cut down on dairy (although this recipe is hardly healthy either way).
Breakfast Casserole
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bread, preferably thick french bread slices
- 4 eggs
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 lb roll sausage, pork or turkey
- 1 bag (5 oz) spinach, roughly chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup skim milk
- Optional: additional fillings (diced bell peppers, mushrooms, halved cherry tomatoes, etc.)
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Sauté the sausage in a pan until cooked through, breaking apart into bite sized pieces as you sauté.
- Cut the bread into cubes and place into a greased 9"x13" casserole dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, soup, and milk. Pour this mixture over the bread.
- Add the spinach, sausage, 1 cup of cheese, and any additional fillings you want into the casserole dish and mix it all to combine evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cup of cheese on top of the casserole.
- Bake for 1 hour, or until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
