Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Sausage Egg Casserole
  1. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add crumbled breakfast sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. In a spacious mixing bowl, crack 8 large eggs and pour in 1 cup of milk. Using a whisk, beat the mixture for about 1-2 minutes until frothy.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and evenly spread the cooked sausage across the bottom.
  4. Pour the frothy egg mixture over the sausage, ensuring even coverage across the dish.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until puffed and golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped chives and serve warm.
