I created this low-carb spinach and sausage egg casserole based on our other egg casserole recipes, but I really wanted an easy, cheesy breakfast casserole with crumbled sausage for a hearty, but still healthy, start to your morning.

Best of all, you can make it ahead of time, so it’s the perfect breakfast casserole for Christmas morning or weekend brunch!

Ingredients for Egg and Sausage Casserole

• Breakfast Sausage: Provides savory, meaty flavor and richness. Its fat also helps keep the casserole moist and infuses the eggs and veggies with flavor. 
• Eggs: The main binder and base of the casserole. They set as they bake, holding everything together while adding protein and structure. 
• Skim Milk: Lightens the egg mixture, making the texture more custardy and less dense. It also helps distribute flavors more evenly throughout the dish. 
• Salt and Black Pepper: Basic seasoning to enhance all the other flavors. Salt balances richness, and pepper adds gentle warmth.
• Sharp Cheddar Cheese: Adds bold, tangy flavor and creamy texture. Sharp cheddar stands out against the eggs and sausage, giving the casserole depth.
• Dried Oregano: Brings a warm, earthy, slightly peppery note that complements both the sausage and cheese, adding a layer of herbal flavor. 
• Fresh Spinach: Adds color, nutrients, and a fresh contrast to the richness of the meat and cheese. It also brings a bit of moisture and balance.

How to Make Sausage and Egg Casserole

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and grease a 9×13″ casserole dish.
2. Cook the Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium high heat and cook the sausage. Drain the grease and set aside.
3. Combine: Beat the eggs and milk in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add in the sausage, cheese, oregano and spinach and stir to combine.
4. Bake: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 30-40 minutes.

• Eggs: large eggs, medium and you’ll need more eggs, extra large and you’ll need less
• Milk: don’t use fat free milk, but any other milk will work fine, we prefer 2%
• Heavy Cream: essential for the custard base of the casserole and adds richness and flavor
• Sugar: any granulated refined sugar works great
• Brown Sugar: adds flavor and richness
• Cinnamon: any brand of cinnamon is great
  • NOTE: If you’re a nutmeg fan, you could add a little pinch of nutmeg too. I especially love that during the holidays!
• Vanilla: real vanilla extract is preferred

Topping

• Butter: chilled and cut into small (1/2 inch-ish) cubes
• Flour: just all purpose
• Brown Sugar: I never need a reason for brown sugar…haha…but really it’s all the flavor and sweetness
• Cinnamon: combined with the brown sugar and it’s all the flavor you need
• Salt: just a little pinch enhances all the flavors
• Optional: Top with powdered sugar and fresh raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, etc.

Cheese soufflé made from 4 different cheeses, sausage and eggs makes the best breakfast casserole of all time! I love it so much and keep going back for more!

Well, I don’t even know what I need to say about this one other than, it’s pure cheese, folks, and I’m not talking about my jokes. Ohhhhh, whomp whomp. Haha, I couldn’t help it.

This is a very old recipe from my family that for once isn’t my mom’s. In fact, I’m not even sure if she makes it at all. But we eat it when we visit my aunt and when I say eat it, I mean, DEVOUR IT.

I know, it looks unassuming and no, I don’t have any idea how I’ll convince you to try it, but you must. You really, really must, because it is the most melt in your mouth breakfast casserole you’ll ever consume. And best of all, you can easily change it to your own liking. Pepper jack cheese? Great idea. Bacon or ham? Bring it on.
