Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and baked in the morning. Just cover and refrigerate overnight.
- Swap out the sausage for bacon, ham, or turkey sausage for a variation.
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.
