Country Egg Casserole

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: monterey jack cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while maintaining flavor.

cooked sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage is leaner, while ground beef is often less expensive.

biscuit dough

🥗Healthier: whole wheat dough

💰Cheaper: homemade biscuit mix

Whole wheat dough adds fiber; homemade mix can save costs.

Prep a 9 by 13 cooking dish using butter or cooking spray.

Arrange bread cubes to fill the bottom of the dish evenly.

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the bread cubes.

Crack the eggs into a medium to large bowl and beat until blended.

Add milk, dry mustard, black pepper, and salt to the eggs, then mix together.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread and cheese using a ladle to avoid disturbing them.

Spread mushrooms evenly on top of the mixture, followed by onions and bacon.

Cover and chill overnight.

When ready to cook, heat the oven to 325°F (163°C).

Bake uncovered until it sets, about one hour.

Place foil over the top if it browns too quickly.

Let it set a little before serving.
