Egg Bake

We had company in town this past weekend and needed a hearty breakfast before a hike. I threw this together with items I had in the kitchen. It is quick easy and delicious!

Pepper and Sausage Egg Bake

Serves 8

1 package breakfast sausage (I use Jimmy Dean breakfast sausage 50% less fat)
½ red pepper, diced
½ green pepper, diced
½ onion, diced
10 eggs
3/4 package, shredded cheese (any kind you like, my choice: Colby/Mozzarella)
1 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
2 tsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp parsley
1 tsp Oregano

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Heat skillet and cook sausage as directed. In large bowl, scramble all 10 eggs. Add diced peppers, onion and seasonings. Add sausage when cooked and lastly add the cheese. Mix thoroughly, mixture should be thick. Pour egg mixture into 9x9 greased pan, glass works best. Sprinkle a little cheese on top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Make sure egg bake is cooked all the way through. If a fork or toothpick comes out with egg residue, it’s ready! Top should be a golden

The great thing about this recipe is that if you don’t like peppers, onions or sausage, just replace those with what you do like. It works with anything. I had some leftover roasted potatoes and I threw those in there as well.
Enjoy!
