Notes

This is such a perfect breakfast to make ahead during the holidays. Simply cut in squares and store in the freezer for when needed.

You can use my air fryer cubed sweet potato recipe to cook the sweet potatoes, as I did. Alternatively, sauté them on your stovetop, or bake them if you’d prefer.

To save time, cook the bacon and sausage prior.

Remember to assemble the casserole only when the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables have cooled down. If not, they will “cook” your eggs before your eggs start baking.

You can make this richer by swapimg some of the milk with heavy cream, such as using 1/4 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of heavy cream.

Do not overbake this breakfast casserole; keep your eyes on it from the 40-minute mark.
