Sausage and Vegetable Egg Bake (The Lean Green Bean)

Hi Friends!

Here’s the best thing about long weekends – we’re already halfway through the week! Woohoo! Today I have a recipe to share. When I had my baby shower a few weeks ago, my mother-in-law made an egg casserole that was a big hit! I asked her for the recipe, made some modifications, tested it out a couple of times with hubby and then decided to share it with you guys!

It’s perfect for throwing together the night before and then baking it in the morning. Plus it’s packed with veggies and protein and it tastes great!

Here’s how you make it:

Like I said, super simple!

Feel free to customize by using your favorite veggies. I used these chicken sausages but you can use whatever kind you want. For the bread, I used a whole wheat baguette one time and an italian loaf the other time. Both are great!
