How to Make Sausage Egg Casserole | Brunch Recipes | Allrecipes.com

Evenly brown 3/4 pound of ground pork or Italian sausage in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove and drain the sausage and set it aside.

Remove any excess fat from the skillet and add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet.

Once the butter melts, add 4 chopped green onions and 1/2 pound of sliced fresh mushrooms.

Cook and stir until the onions and mushrooms are tender, then remove the skillet from the heat.

Crack 10 eggs into a large bowl and beat them well.

Add 1 (16-ounce) container of low-fat cottage cheese, 1 pound of shredded Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese, and 2 (4-ounce) cans of drained, diced green chili peppers to the eggs and mix well.

Add in the cooked sausage, and the sautéed green onions and mushrooms, and stir everything together well.

Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator overnight.

In the morning, lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Add 1 cup of flour to a sifter over a medium bowl, then add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and sift the ingredients together.

Pour in 1/3 cup of melted butter and use a fork to combine.

Stir or whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture.

Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake the casserole in the preheated oven until it is lightly browned on top, for 40-50 minutes.

Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
