2. Ingredients for Sausage and Mushroom Egg Casserole
- nonstick cooking spray
- 8 oz. cremini mushrooms
- 12 oz. breakfast sausage (removed from casing)
- 1 Tbsp. butter (alternatively use leftover sausage oil)
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. black pepper
- 8 oz. (2 cups) shredded Havarti (or Fontina cheese)
3. Directions:
3.1 Preheat
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
3.2 Prep
Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Place two sheets of paper towels on a large plate, and set aside.
Thinly slice the mushrooms.
3.3 Stove
Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the sausage in the skillet. Cook until browned, using a rubber spatula to break up the sausage into small pieces as it cooks, 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the sausage to the paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Add the butter to skillet (or use leftover oil from cooking sausage) and return to the heat. Once melted, add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have shrunken and browned, 5-6 minutes.
3.4 Prep
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Add the sausage, mushrooms, and shredded cheese. Fold with a rubber spatula until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
3.5 Oven
Bake the casserole on middle rack of oven until it is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.
3.6 Check
Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.
3.7 Serve
Allow casserole to cool for at least 10 minutes. Cut the casserole into squares, or simply spoon onto plates. Serve.
