Sausage Egg and Cheese Breakfast Casserole, or Christmas Casserole as it’s known at our house, is and easy to prepare recipe. You’ve been busy with holiday cooking and want to feed the family, perhaps guests too, a great breakfast. This casserole can even be made the night before.
There’s no heavy bread in this dish. After all, aren’t we still stuffed from Christmas dinner. Fluffy eggs, your favorite breakfast sausage and cheese. Cause we all love cheese right?!
This breakfast casserole is one of my personal favorites. Us Southerners love our hot sauce too and I add a few dashes to my serving. It’s so good! I occasionally make this when we are in the mood for a breakfast for supper kind of night. If you have leftovers, they re-heat beautifully in the oven the next day.
I appreciate an easy to prepare breakfast after I’ve spent days cooking. December also happens to be a very busy month overall with baking homemade goodies, decorating, and most likely shopping. There are trips to the post office, cards to write and send. I love it all but am ready for the New Year after December 25th rolls around.

This was so delocious! I chopped and added one orange bell pepper,one russet potato, one sweet potato, and two cloves of garlic. I also replaced the cow's milk with almond milk, and used a combo of very sharp cheddar and pamesan (only as a garnish near the end of thr cooking time), becuase our youngest child and I do not tolerate most dairy. I topped that final cheese layer with fresh parsley, and it was fantastic! Thank-you for sharing this recipe. I'm excited to try other variations as well!

The casserole is really good - I added red, orange and green diced bell pepper while the sausage was browning - will definitely be making this again - do you think it could also be made with bacon?

Any suggestions on replacing whole milk with a nut milk?
Julia Jordan

Personally I have never used a nut milk but from what I've read you can substitute almond milk for whole milk 1:1 ratio. The article also mentioned that it may bake a little faster since the almond milk has more water than cow milk does. I hope that this helps. Enjoy the casserole!
