Egg & Sausage Casserole
Recipe courtesy EatingWell.com
A dozen for brunch? No problem with our delicious makeover of a classic egg casserole. Assemble the casserole the evening before you plan to serve it.

5 ounces turkey breakfast sausage (4 small links), casings removed
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 large eggs
4 large egg whites
2 1/2 cups low-fat milk
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2/3 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
10 slices white bread, crusts removed

Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, crumbling with a fork, until browned. Transfer to a bowl.

Add oil, onion and bell pepper to skillet; cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add sausage and cook, stirring, until vegetables begin to brown, about 5 minutes more. Remove from heat and set aside.

Whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl until blended. Whisk in milk, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir in 1/3 cup Cheddar.

Arrange bread in a single layer in prepared baking dish. Pour egg mixture over bread and top with reserved vegetables and sausage. Sprinkle with remaining 1/3 cup Cheddar. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Bake casserole, uncovered, until set and puffed, 40 to 50 minutes. Serve hot.
