Add In’s and Substitutions for Sausage and Egg Casserole

Substitutions

Substitutions are absolutely acceptable in this recipe. Just keep in mind that any changes you make from the original recipe may change the flavor, texture, consistency or appearance of the final result.

• Bread – You can use any type of bread you would like. Try croissants, artisan breads, texas toast or even leftover garlic bread for so much more flavor.
• Sausage – Instead of using pork sausage, try making this with turkey sausage, bacon, ham or even steak or beef.
• milk – we usually use 2% milk, but honestly you could use any milk here. Skim, whole, almond, coconut or other nut milks.
• ground mustard – this adds a ton of flavor, if you don’t have ground mustard, you can use regular mustard in a bottle. For this recipe you would need 1 1/4 tablespoons of prepared mustard.
• shredded cheese – we typically use cheddar cheese for this recipe and shred it ourselves. However try this recipe with any type you’d like: gouda, mozzarella, pepper jack, etc.

Add In’s to this Sausage and Egg Breakfast Casserole

This casserole is honestly perfect as is, but if you wanted to add additional ingredients to really take it to another level here are some ideas.

• chopped bell pepper – you might saute it first to get a softer result, unless you want the added crunch
• fresh herbs – we add chopped basil or chopped oregano
• chopped tomatoes
• minced garlic or onion
• chopped broccoli or asparagus

Freezing a whole casserole

We usually double the recipe because we have a larger family, but also because we enjoy having leftovers for breakfast the next morning!

If you want to double or even triple the recipe, they store really well in the freezer in these covered freezer pans. We have these and use them daily.

Thaw the casserole completely before baking and remove the lid before placing in the oven.

You can also cut square servings out of the leftovers and wrap them individually in plastic wrap or put them in plastic ziptop bags. In the morning, put the slice on a microwave safe plate, cover with a paper towel and heat for approximately 60-90 seconds in the microwave. Yum!
