Bonus Tips

• Can be prepared the night before and refrigerated
• Covers and stores well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days
• Cut slices of casserole into squares, and put them on English muffins or in wraps to make breakfast sandwich meal prep. Wrap and freeze for later.

Nutritional Benefits and Variations

• Protein-packed breakfast option
• Great option for a grab and go breakfast meal prep, just reheat frozen sandwich in the microwave
• The great thing about this casserole is that you can substitute any of the filler ingredients, don’t have sausage – use bacon or ham, get creative with it. You can also use frozen hash browns instead of peeling and dicing a fresh potato

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

• I like to serve this casserole with english muffins, but you could use biscuits, croissants or turn the casserole into delicious breakfast burritos
• Throw a little bit of fruit in the mix to round out this and you have the perfect breakfast
• If you don’t finish the whole casserole you can refrigerate it for a few days and cut off slices to be reheated, I recommend microwaving or air frying the leftovers
