Snowy Morning (or Meal Prep!) Egg Casserole
Just the picture of this casserole screams “snowy morning” to me, although it can easily be modified for an effortless meal prep recipe too! The sausage, pepper and onions are sautéed together in a skillet and then poured into a pan to cook up with melty cheese for one of the most filling and delicious breakfasts. It tastes and smells gourmet, so no matter where you’re serving it, your friends and family will be impressed.
Some quick swaps (light sour cream or turkey sausage) can cut down on the fat and keep the flavor if you want to throw this into your weekly meal prep rotation! I always like to add extra veggies like broccoli and spinach to increase the fiber for an even more balanced start to the day.
Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 2 pounds pork (or turkey) sausage
- 1 cup sour cream (can use “lite” sour cream)
- 1/4 cup milk (low fat or skim)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 green onions
- 1/2 green bell pepper , diced
- 1/2 red bell pepper , diced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13’’ pan with cooking spray.
- Combine the eggs, sour cream, milk, cheese, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Mix on low speed with an electric mixer, just until combined.
- Cook sausage over medium heat until browned, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain most of the grease and add to the bowl with the egg mixture.
- Add the bell peppers and onion to the same skillet the sausage was cooked in and sauté for 2- 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the eggs and stir everything to combine.
- Pour mixture into greased 9×13’’ pan and bake for 35-50 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is just barely jiggly.
- Leftover egg casserole can be stored in the fridge and enjoyed within 3-4 days. Leftovers are delicious reheated in the microwave.
