Tools You’ll Need

Non-stick spray

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray.

Step 2: Cook the Turkey Sausage
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the crumbled turkey sausage until fully browned.
Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, sauté the diced bell peppers and onion for 3–4 minutes until softened.
If adding mushrooms or spinach, toss them in during the last minute of cooking.

Step 4: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until fully combined.

Step 5: Assemble the Casserole
Spread the cooked turkey sausage evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the sautéed vegetables over the sausage.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over all the ingredients.

Step 6: Bake
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

Step 7: Cool and Serve
Let the casserole cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite breakfast sides or sauces.

Tips for Perfect Egg Casserole
Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh veggies and cheese make a huge difference.
Whisk the Eggs Well – This ensures a fluffy and even texture.
Customize It – Swap the cheeses, add herbs, or use different veggies to make it your own.
Let It Rest – Cooling slightly after baking helps the casserole set for cleaner slices.

Serving Suggestions
Fresh Fruit – Serve with a bowl of mixed berries or melon.
Avocado Slices – Creamy avocado pairs perfectly with the savory casserole.
Toast or Biscuits – A hearty side to round out the meal.
Hot Sauce or Salsa – Add a little kick if you like it spicy!
