Ingredients
- 1 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 10 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Crumble the breakfast sausage into the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the sausage aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Blanch the broccoli florets for 2 minutes, then transfer them to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Layer the cooked sausage evenly at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Distribute the broccoli florets evenly across the sausage layer.
Step 6
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and broccoli, ensuring that it is evenly distributed.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
