2 cups bread chunks (optional)
12 -
1/2 cup diced bell peppers (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a skillet over medium and cook the sausage, breaking it up into pieces as it browns. Once cooked, drain the fat and set it aside.
02 -
Grab a large bowl and whisk together the eggs, milk, smoked paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and salt. Make sure everything’s mixed well.
03 -
Use a greased baking dish. Start with a layer of sausage, then sprinkle in bread cubes if you’re using them, and any veggies like spinach, onions, or bell peppers. Follow with shredded cheese. Pour the egg mixture all over until it’s evenly coated.
04 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for about 30-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the top looks golden and the center is firm.
05 -
Once it’s done baking, let it sit for 5 minutes to cool off a bit. Slice it up and enjoy while it’s warm.
# Notes:
01 -
This dish works great for prepping ahead! Assemble everything the night before and pop it in the oven when you’re ready.

Add your favorite veggies, meat, or cheese to make it just how you like it.
