Ingredients
8 large eggs
1 cup milk (or almond/ oat milk)
1 pound chicken, turkey, or beef sausage, cooked and sliced

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
Cook sausage in a skillet until browned. Sauté vegetables in olive oil or butter until tender.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Fold in cooked sausage, vegetables, and half of the cheese.

Notes
Assemble the casserole the night before for a quick morning bake.
Experiment with different cheeses or vegetables to customize flavor.
Cover with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking to lock in moisture, then uncover to brown the top.
