Breakfast Casserole Recipe Tips:
- SAUSAGE: Breakfast sausage is most delicious in this bake. But you can use any type of ground sausage that you like: Italian sausage, or any savoury pork sausage or even breakfast turkey sausage. If you can’t find ground sausage, feel free to buy breakfast sausages and remove the ground filling from the cases.
- EGGS: Make sure to whisk the eggs well. The egg/milk mixture should be smooth (sometimes I will give it a quick pulse with my hand blender).
- POTATOES: I prefer to use fresh potatoes. But you can use pre-made potato hash browns, shredded hashbrowns or frozen hash browns.
- CHEESE: Use a flavourful cheese like sharp cheddar cheese for this recipe. You can also use Swiss cheese, mozzarella cheese, Monterey Jack…
- CREAM: I like to use half and half cream or whole milk for this easy casserole recipe. But you can use 2%. I wouldn’t recommend 1% or skim milk.
- PAN SIZE: Use a 9 x 13 pan.
- LET IT REST: Make sure to let this dish rest for at least 5 – 10 minutes so you can cut nice tidy squares.
- LEFTOVERS: Leftovers are great the next day! Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 – 3 days. Just reheat in the microwave.
- FREEZING: I do not recommend freezing this dish, as it may be too wet and soggy after baking.
