This Sausage and Vegetable Egg Bake is an easy, make-ahead casserole that’s packed with protein and veggies. Prep the night before and bake for an easy breakfast or brunch.

Hi Friends!

Here’s the best thing about long weekends – we’re already halfway through the week! Woohoo! Today I have a recipe to share. When I had my baby shower a few weeks ago, my mother-in-law made an egg casserole that was a big hit! I asked her for the recipe, made some modifications, tested it out a couple of times with hubby and then decided to share it with you guys!

This Sausage and Vegetable Egg Bake is a healthy breakfast idea that you can prep ahead of time and eat it all week long.

It’s perfect for throwing together the night before and then baking it in the morning. Plus it’s packed with veggies and protein and it tastes great!

 

Here’s how you make it:

Like I said, super simple!

 

Feel free to customize by using your favorite veggies.  For the bread, I used a whole wheat baguette one time and an italian loaf the other time. Both are great!

    Hey this looks great for a crowd! I wonder if veggie sausage links would work as well? I love the idea of just putting everything together and baking it while enjoying everyone’s company instead of slaving over a hot stove. Thanks for sharing!

    During the last year of college, my friends and I would have brunch at our apartment. One time, a girlfriend of mine brought egg/cheese/bread casserole and it was such a big hit! This reminds me of that except a little healthier with all the veg.

    Hi,
    What other suggestions would you have if one (or more) don’t care for peppers? I would leave them out, but would it need something else for more flavor?
    Thanks! Sounds great!

    Reply
    • Lindsay says

      March 9, 2015 at 7:01 PM

      you can definitely leave them out. i would just add in whatever veggies you like! if you like broccoli you could add some of that, or whatever else you have on hand!

    Would this work using gluten free bread? Or no bread at all. I would love the bread but I have family who are gluten intolerant.

    Do you use pre-cooked chicken sausages? Also, do you have any nutritional information available for any of your recipes? They all look delicious and I can’t wait to try them! I like to keep track of macros, that is why I was asking 🙂

    Thank You!
