My adult children were home for the weekend. Super easy recipe. Made it up before they came home and put it in the oven for Sunday brunch. It was a hit! I could have gotten by with one lb of sausage. Also let it sit on the stove for at least 20 minutes to let the eggs set. I will make this again!

I got distracted with everyone in the kitchen and forgot the milk! Threw it in at the last minute. It was a success with everyone. Thank you!

Do I have to let this sit overnight or an hour good?

This was delicious and made a ton! I will only use one roll of sausage next time.

Made it up last night and baked it this morning. It was very good, but a little salty. I only had the 1 tsp of salt in it, so I think it was the sausage that made it saltier. I would suggest cutting the salt in half.
Would definitely make this again!

I made this today, exactly as stated and it was delicious!! Very quick and easy to do. I will definitely make again! When you say prepare ahead of time and can freeze, that would be freezing it without the uncooked egg in it right?
Reply
no. I freeze it fully assembled and uncooked.

Curious, if I put together the night before eggs and all it will be okay in the fridge for 1 night before baking the next day?
Yes – that will be just fine.
amazing recipe!!! so easy, tasted delicious. topped with Tony Chachere seasoning and extra cheese before baking. Topped with green onions after. can’t wait to make again.
