Total Time: 50 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 8 crepes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
- Sauté diced onions and bell peppers in a skillet over medium heat until they become soft and slightly translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Lay out the crepes on a clean work surface. Sprinkle crumbled sausage, sautéed vegetables, and half of the shredded cheese evenly across each crepe.
- Carefully roll each crepe and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
- Pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the rolled crepes, ensuring all crepes are well-covered.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and the eggs are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the eggs to fully set.
- Slice into portions and serve hot, garnishing with fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired.
Tips
- Customize Your Fillings: Feel free to swap out the sausage for bacon or ham, and mix in your favorite vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for added flavor and nutrition.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the casserole the night before by assembling the crepes and filling, then cover and refrigerate. In the morning, just pour the egg mixture over and bake—easy peasy!
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your casserole during the last few minutes of baking. The cheese should be golden brown, and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Serve with a Twist: Garnish your casserole with fresh herbs, avocado slices, or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch that will take your breakfast to the next level.
- Perfect Pairings: This casserole pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad, making for a well-rounded meal that’s both satisfying and refreshing.
