Wake up your taste buds with this Savory Morning Bake, a hearty dish that combines comforting flavors with a simple preparation. It's perfect for feeding a crowd or meal-prepping for the week. Let's dive right in!
Pork sausage is the star here, offering a savory richness that forms the base of our dish. Cheddar cheese adds a sharp, creamy layer, melting beautifully into the bake. Milk helps bind everything together, creating a smooth, light texture. Eggs are essential for structure, providing that fluffy, satisfying bite. The all-purpose baking mix brings it all together, adding a subtle bread-like quality. A bit of onion and bell pepper introduce a fresh, sweet crunch, while black pepper and salt season the bake to perfection.
This bake pairs beautifully with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad for added freshness. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside crispy breakfast potatoes or a slice of homemade bread.
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F. This gives you enough time to prepare the ingredients without any rush. Now, grab a large skillet and place it over medium heat. Add the pork sausage, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. You'll know it's ready once it's browned and cooked through.
While the sausage is cooking, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl until they're well combined. It should look smooth and a bit frothy.
Once your sausage is done, add it to the mixing bowl with the egg mixture. Toss in the chopped onion, chopped bell pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir in the baking mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly, then pour the mixture into it, spreading it out to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top for that irresistible cheesy crust.
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's done when the top is golden brown and the center is set. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
