Easy Sausage Breakfast Casserole Recipe

This Sausage Breakfast casserole is one that anyone can make. It’s the sort of breakfast recipe that I turn to when I have company and the ever present hectic mornings for the family. Once it’s baked, it’s ready to eat with a side of fruit salad and a drizzle of pure maple syrup. How to make Sausage Breakfast Casserole with croissants:

• Croissants – 6-8 large croissants cut into 1 inch pieces. This is one time crescent rolls aren’t the best choice.
• Sausage – Mild or spicy pork breakfast sausage.
• Eggs – 10 large eggs.
• Liquid – Whole milk and heavy cream.
• Cheese – Shredded Gruyere, Swiss or sharp Cheddar cheese.
• Mix-ins – One bunch green onions, thinly sliced and fresh sage.
• Seasonings – Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic and onion powder.
• Hot sauce (optional).
• Maple syrup for serving.

How to Make the Best Sausage Breakfast Casserole

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Sausage Breakfast Casserole: 6-8 large croissants, breakfast sausage, sliced green onions, milk, heavy cream, large eggs, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, granulated garlic, onion powder, shredded Gruyere, Swiss or sharp cheddar cheese.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A 13 x 9 inch baking dish, measuring cups and spoons, a whisk, sharp knife and cutting board, a sheet pan to toast the croissants, a large spoon and cheese grater.
• After pouring the custard over the croissants, it’s important that all of the croissants are covered. If needed, press down into the mixture using a large spoon for a couple of minutes prior to placing it into the refrigerator to chill.
• You can use whatever flavor of cheese that you have on hand or enjoy in this casserole.
• If you’d like to add some heat, use pepper jack cheese and add a few chopped green chiles. You could also use spicy breakfast sausage in place of mild sausage.
• We enjoy this casserole with a drizzle of maple syrup. That’s completely optional, but if you love that sweet and salty flavor combination give it a try, you’ll love it!
• You can store leftover Sausage Breakfast Casserole for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Reheat in single serving portions in the microwave.
• You can  also freeze baked Sausage Breakfast Casserole for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, then reheat in a 350°F oven for 15 minutes or until heated through. Lay foil on top, if needed to prevent over browning.
