Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb turkey or chicken breakfast sausage pork-free substitute
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk

  4. Layer the cooked sausage, optional vegetables, shredded cheese, and bread cubes (if using) in the prepared baking dish.

  6. Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  7. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
