Breakfast Casserole

Here is a favorite breakfast casserole that I make for special occasions. Today I decided that I need to make it just to celebrate how good life is ! And to use up some of our many eggs : )

Breakfast Casserole

serves 8-10

This savory casserole is a winner when you are having guests for breakfast or celebrating a birthday.

1 bunch green onions

1 large green pepper

4 Tablespoons butter

1 lb breakfast sausage (non-meat sausage works fine)

1 pint whole tomatoes (optional)

12-18 eggs

1/2 cup cream

salt and pepper to taste

wash and mince green onions and green pepper.

melt butter in a large flameproof casserole dish or heavy-bottom frying pan.

Fry peppers and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.

Add sausage and break up with a spoon. Halfway through, add the onions, stir and

continue cooking until meat is browned and onions are soft.

Add tomatoes and break up with the back of a spoon. Lower heat and cook uncovered

for 15 minutes to evaporate some of the liquid. Stir frequently.

Preheat oven to 400 F

In a large bowl, beat eggs, cream, salt and pepper.

Pour eggs into the meat and pepper mixture, stir and bake until set and top is golden brown,

about 30-40 minutes. Serve immediately.
