Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it into pieces until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fluffy.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  4. Layer 3/4 of the cooked sausage at the bottom of the dish, then sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, ensuring even coverage.
  6. Bake the casserole for 30 minutes until mostly set, with a slight jiggle in the center.
  7. Top with remaining sausage and cheese, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is melted.
  8. Broil for 1-2 minutes for a crispy top, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
