Let’s get our egg casserole on, shall we? I think everyone knows by now I’m an egg white girl, but that doesn’t mean that I deprive my husband of eggs. The man LOVES eggs. A few years ago he would be known to eat 2 dozen eggs in one week. I know some might be concerned about his cholesterol levels. Fear no-more they are perfectly normal. He has cut down to about just one dozen eggs a week, and with that comes this Sausage, Egg, & Veggie Casserole. This casserole is ideal for entertaining. Especially if you have a few egg lovers you are feeding. I made this for a few hungry guys the other month and they devoured it. Luckily, I also had a big fruit salad and my homemade cinna-buns alongside. This meant that my husband was the lucky guy of 2 extra slices of this casserole. I must add that this casserole re-heated beautifully over the course of the following 2-days. I even slapped a piece of this sausage, egg, & veggie casserole between an everything bagel. Making for the ultimate breakfast sandwich.
So if you are entertaining this weekend for mother’s day and want to make a light breakfast casserole that is chocked full of meat and veggies I would highly suggest you make my Sausage, Egg, & Veggie Casserole. Note, that if you don’t have all the veggies on hand or if you don’t like one of the vegetables you can always omit or replace with another vegetable. Either way if you are a lover of all things eggs you must give this easy casserole recipe a try!

Just about every church gig I play has breakfast between services for us, and there is always an egg/meat/vegetable casserole. Even though I’m also an egg white gal, I devour a pice of the casserole.
Looks so lovely and fluffy! Yum!
This looks perfect! yum
