How to Make Italian Egg Casserole:

To whip up a pan of Italian Egg Casserole, start by frying up some sweet or mild Italian sausage. Both types taste fabulous in this casserole but our preference is the sweet variety. -- The sweet sausage flavors go very nicely with the casserole's mushrooms and tomatoes.

Then in the same pan, saute some chopped red onion and sliced portabella mushrooms until they're tender, which takes about 3 to 5 minutes.

Mix the cooked sausage, onions, and mushrooms with beaten eggs, a bunch of shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, some milk, and diced fresh tomato. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13" baking dish,  then bake until the casserole is set, about 30-40 minutes or so.

Once the baked casserole is removed from the oven, let it stand at room temperature for about 5 minutes to set. Then you're good to go with serving up the deliciousness!

So when you're looking for an easy morning and weeknight recipe that also gives make-ahead convenience, turn to this Italian Egg Casserole for a fabulously-cheesy and delicious dish the whole family will enjoy. It delivers up fabulous flavor in every bite!
