For a spicy kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. Feel free to substitute your favorite type of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, or Gruyere. To add some vegetables, sauté diced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms and add them to the casserole along with the sausage. This casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before cooking. Just be sure to add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. If you don't have maple sausage on hand, you can use regular breakfast sausage, Italian sausage, or even chorizo for a different flavor profile.
