Visual Process for Making Breakfast Casserole
Step 1
Add Cooked Meat and Veggies
Brown the sausage. Then soften carrots, peppers and onions. If you are using sweet potatoes, line the bottom of the dish with the sweet potato slices, then top those with the sausage and veggies.
Step 2
Add Broccoli and Cheese
Put the broccoli in raw since it doesn’t take long for this vegetable to soften. Top with cheese.
Step 3
Pour in Custard
Whip the eggs and heavy whipping cream together. Season with salt and pepper and then pour over the casserole.
Step 4
Bake
Bake for 45 minutes or until the middle is set. The time can vary in different ovens.

- 1 thinly sliced sweet potato (peeled, optional)
- 2 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish with butter.

- Add ½ large onion, 1 chopped red bell pepper 2 chopped carrots to the skillet. Cook until softened.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk 8 large eggs, 4 cup heavy whipping cream and salt and pepper to taste until combined.
- Coat a casserole dish in butter. Add an even layer, or two, of sweet potato slices to the bottom of the dish. Add the sausage and vegetables, broccoli and then pour the egg mixture over the top. Top with cheese (optional).
- Bake the breakfast casserole uncovered for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Substitutions
- Asparagus for a fresh, crunchy bite
- Bell peppers for a pop of color and sweetness
- Cauliflower for a low-carb option
- Mushrooms for an earthy, savory flavor
While I personally love using heavy whipping cream (it makes the casserole super light and fluffy), you can sub in half and half or even 2% milk if you’re looking to lighten things up.
