Broccoli Cheddar Egg Casserole

 

This is one of my favorites when it comes to a breakfast casserole.  Not only is it absolutely delicious but it goes together and bakes up super easy.

 

Broccoli Cheddar Egg Casserole

 

12 eggs

2 cups chopped broccoli

1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 pound pork breakfast sausage, browned & drained

1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

2 Tbs. heavy cream

 

In a large bowl whisk the eggs together until well blended.  Add remaining ingredients and stir to thoroughly combine.  Pour mixture into a greased 9" X 13" baking pan.  Bake at 375° for 25 to 30 minutes until top is lightly browned and center is set.  Serves 8.

 

For a meat less version you can omit the sausage and add some salt and it is every bit as delicious.  You can also top it with some extra cheese, a dollop of sour cream or drizzle your favorite hot sauce over the top.  I like a little chipotle Tabasco myself.
