Here's a look at the ingredients you'll need to make this irresistible Cheesy Sausage and Egg Bake.
Pork Sausage: Our savory star, providing hearty flavor.
Fresh Mushrooms: Adding an earthy depth and tender texture, complementing the richness of the sausage and eggs, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
Green Onions: For a mild, fresh oniony zing and a pop of vibrant color, sliced green onions add a subtle brightness that cuts through the richness of the casserole.
Tomatoes: Bringing a touch of bright acidity and juicy freshness, the chopped tomatoes help balance the savory elements, adding a delightful burst of flavor.
Shredded Mozzarella Cheese: The essential ingredient for that irresistible gooey, cheesy goodness.
Bisquick™ Original Pancake & Baking Mix: Our secret for a light, fluffy base that binds everything together effortlessly. Bisquick ensures a tender and consistent texture, making this casserole wonderfully easy to prepare.
Milk: Combined with the eggs and Bisquick, milk helps create that rich, custardy texture.
Large Eggs: The foundation of our bake, providing structure and richness.
Other Ingredients You'll Need: Salt, chopped fresh or dried oregano leaves, and pepper.
From preparing your ingredients to achieving that ideal cheesy crust, we'll show you exactly what to look for along the way. Full recipe below.
Heat your oven to 350°F and grease a 13x9-inch baking dish. A well-greased dish is your secret to a perfect, non-stick release, making serving a breeze. Layer the cooked (and drained!) bulk pork sausage, sliced mushrooms, sliced green onions, chopped tomatoes, and shredded mozzarella cheese evenly in the prepared dish.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the Bisquick™ mix, milk, salt, oregano leaves (fresh or dried), pepper, and eggs. Whisk these ingredients together until they are well blended and you see a smooth, golden mixture with no lumps.
Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bake is golden brown and set in the center.
Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the bake to set properly and makes for easier serving.
It's best to serve this Cheesy Sausage and Egg Bake while it's warm from the oven. If you find yourself with delicious leftovers, though, here's how to store and reheat them safely.
Place any cooled leftovers in an air-tight container or wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Once completely cooled, you can freeze individual portions wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, or freeze the entire remaining bake in a freezer-safe container. Store up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
To reheat individual servings, place on a microwave-safe plate, cover, and microwave on medium-high (70%) for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly warm in the center. For larger portions or to achieve a crisper texture, you can reheat in a 300°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 13x9x2-inch baking dish.
Layer sausage, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, and cheese in the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk the Bisquick™, milk, salt, oregano leaves, pepper, and eggs until blended. Pour into the baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
