What Ingredients do you need for this Cheesy Sausage and Egg Casserole?
Sausages – you can use any kind of sausages. I used chicken sausages. Ground sausage meat can be used too.
Eggs
Potatoes
Broccoli
Cheese
Bread
Heavy Whipping Cream – Whole milk is a good substitute for heavy whipping cream
Salt and pepper
Butter
How do you make this Cheesy Sausage and Egg Casserole?
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Grill the sausages for a few mins so that they are crispy on the outside. They will finish cooking in the oven. Cut them into slices.
Cut the bread slices into cubes, grate the cheese, cut the potato into small cubes and cut broccoli into small florets. Cook the broccoli and potatoes in the microwave for 2 minutes, drain and keep them aside.
You can also use a boiled potato and cooked broccoli that you have leftover. That’s what I did.
In a big bowl, beat eggs, add cream, cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
Butter the dish that you will be using to bake the casserole.
Layer the sausages, potatoes, broccoli, and bread in the dish. Mix gently. Pour in the egg and cream mixture all over. Sprinkle some cheese on top. Cube about 2 tablespoons of butter into small pieces and put it all over the top. Here is the casserole ready to go into the oven!
Bake in the oven for 50 minutes till it is golden brown.
Take it out and let it cool for a few minutes. Then serve with hot sauce or tomato ketchup.
Can you freeze this Cheesy Sausage and Egg Casserole??
Most certainly! This casserole is perfect if you love to make freezer-friendly meals! Just assemble and freeze it. Make sure to cover it well using foil. To bake, take it out the night before so that it comes to room temperature, bake it for about 50 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

- Once done, let it cool for about 10 minutes, cut, and serve with Sriracha sauce or tomato ketchup.
Notes:
- You can use ground sausage meat instead of regular sausages.
- Substitute any vegetables of your choice.
- Heavy cream can be substituted with whole milk.
- More eggs can be added. I think I will try 6 eggs next time.
- Any bread is fine, good options will be leftover french bread, wholegrain bread, sourdough bread, etc
- Use any cheese that you have, I used cheddar cheese.
The fun part of this casserole is that you can customize it to use whatever you like or have in your fridge.
