Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, brown the ground sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

02

Step

Arrange the torn English muffin pieces evenly across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. (1 minute)

03

Step

Layer the cooked sausage, diced onion, and diced bell pepper over the English muffins. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. (3 minutes)

04

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, dried basil, and black pepper until well combined. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the casserole. Gently press down on the top of the casserole with a spatula to ensure all ingredients are submerged in the egg mixture. (1 minute)

06

Step

Cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight. (8 hours)

07

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (10 minutes)

08

Step

Uncover the casserole and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the eggs are cooked through. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. (35 minutes)

09

Step

Let the casserole cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. (15 minutes)

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while browning.
Feel free to substitute different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack.
If you don't have English muffins, you can use croissants or day-old bread.
This casserole can be assembled a day in advance and baked just before serving, making it perfect for busy mornings.
