Description
A protein-packed, gluten-free breakfast casserole perfect for meal prep or serving guests.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb pork breakfast sausage
- 3/4 cup red pepper diced
- 3/4 cup onion diced
- 10 oz (2 cups) frozen hashbrowns
- 1–2 cups spinach finely chopped
- 10 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup whole milk or unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or dairy-free cheese, plus more for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 baking dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion, and red pepper. Break up the sausage into small pieces and cook until the vegetables soften and the sausage is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl combine the eggs, salt, pepper, milk, and 1 cup of cheese. Add the sausage mixture and mix until totally combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Top with the remaining cheese. You can bake now or refrigerate the casserole to bake the next day.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, uncovered, until the eggs are set. Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan cheese and unsweetened dairy-free milk, such as coconut milk.
- To make ahead, pour the mixture into the prepared pan, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Bake the next day as instructed.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, bake the casserole in a disposable aluminum pan. Let it cool completely, wrap it in plastic wrap then foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw covered in the refrigerator for about 24 hours, remove the covering, then reheat in a 350°F oven for 25–30 minutes.
