Breakfast Sausage, Egg & Cheese Casserole
As promised yesterday, I bring you another breakfast casserole today. This one is more of the savory variety, with a heavy dose of sausage and cheese.
Puffed pieces of bread, set with eggs, and full of sausage and melted cheese. It’s wonderful right out of the oven – browned, puffy and cheesy. It’s a great complement to a sweeter offering, such as the French toast casserole, so you can enjoy a piece of each! Yet another feast-worthy breakfast.

I have always wanted to host a Christmas brunch, maybe one of these days! I’m thinking a couple of breakfast casseroles, some scones, monkey bread, cinnamon rolls, and of course… mimosas!

This is delicious. I do have a question on your nutritional information. How many cups/ounces/grams is in the serving you have the nutritional data on?
This breakfast casserole is simply delicious and so easy to assemble!! My hubby and I love it, but need to ask, can I cut into servings, wrap each one separate, and then freeze? Sometimes, hubby likes something he can just grab out of freezer, pop in microwave and eat away!
Thanks for your great recipies!!
Hi Jackie, Yes, I think it would freeze and reheat wonderfully!
Can this be baked ahead of time and then heated up a day later?
This is so good! I have found my go to breakfast casserole.
I have for some reason been wanting breakfast casserole lately. I might give this one a try. Can I leave the bread out?
Hi Jamie, The bread helps soak up the eggs; you can leave it out but it would basically be a baked omelet. If you’re okay with that, then go ahead!
Can I make this up two days ahead of time? Serving it the morning of my daughter’s wedding and won’t have time to make the day before?
Hi Sandra, I haven’t done that, my only concern would be that the bread would break down totally. I would just try it ahead of time and make sure it’s okay before making it for the big day! And congratulations to your daughter! :)
I just can’t believe how great it tastes, the whole family loves this new breakfast. I’ve added a little bacon to the mix and it turned out even better (we’re huge bacon fans). Thanks for sharing!
This is all I’m going to say.. me and my husband just can’t get enough of this, we’ve been making this every morning for the past week.. haha! Thanks for sharing Michelle!

Thank for share !
I want to give it a try. It looks so yummy. It can be a perfect breakfast for Sunday morning. I’m not good at cooking so I feel lucky to find your recipe today. I still have enough time to practice cooking it ’till Christmas. Thank you!
This looks not hard to make but so delicious. I will save your recipe and try to make it for my kids. Hope they will love it. Thank you so much for your sharing!
Have you ever frozen it before baking? Wanting to make for a freezer meal club. Thx!
Hi Kari, I have not frozen it before baking; I’m not sure how it would work with the eggs.
I made this lastnight and had it for brunch today! It’s excellent. My husband raves about his moms breakfast casseroles, so I decided to try to make this one and he loved it! The only thing I changed was I used a 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Just a personal preference as sausage tastes salty to me.
