How To Make Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Casserole

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Lightly coat an 8-inch deep-dish pie dish or baking dish with coconut oil or nonstick cooking spray.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until soft, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until evenly browned for 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Whisk the eggs, cream, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.

Spread the sausage and onion mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared dish and top with the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese. Bake for 35 minutes, until the eggs are set, and the top is lightly golden brown. Allow to cool for 3 to 5 minutes before serving to ensure the eggs are set.

Leftovers of this sausage, egg, and cheese bake can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Variations

Garlic powder: If you don’t have a fresh garlic clove, swap out and use ¼ tsp of garlic powder instead.

Shredded cheese: While I prefer the flavor of cheddar cheese, you can easily use any type of cheese that you want.

Salted butter: If all you have in the house is salted butter, use it for this simple egg and cheese casserole recipe and omit the additional salt ingredient.

Heavy Whipping Cream:If you don’t have any heavy whipping cream on hand feel free to use half and half.
