There’s just something about a warm breakfast casserole that makes everything feel a little more special… even if it’s just a regular morning at home.

I made this sausage egg casserole recently for a birthday brunch spread for my daughter (alongside croissants and yogurt parfaits), and it was the first thing gone. It’s simple, filling, and gluten-free—so it works for a crowd without overthinking it.

The best part? This is one of those “you don’t need to overmeasure” recipes. It’s flexible, forgiving, and always turns out good.

Sausage Egg Casserole (Gluten-Free)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (gf)
• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (any kind works)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• Optional:
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • ½ cup diced bell peppers

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Cook the sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease.
3. (Optional) If using onions or peppers, sauté them with the sausage for extra flavor.
4. Grease a 9×13 baking dish, then spread the cooked sausage evenly across the bottom.
5. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
6. Pour egg mixture over the sausage.
7. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top.
8. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
9. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes before slicing.
