Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Stir in the cooked sausage, shredded cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions into the egg mixture.
  5. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Cooking

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage while cooking. You can also customize by adding other vegetables like diced bell peppers or spinach. This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked in the morning for an even quicker breakfast.
