The Best sausage and egg bake recipe

I love making this sausage and egg bake recipe because it is so simple and always turns out great. My kids ask for it on weekend mornings and it fills them up with protein to start the day. It is also a perfect dish for holiday brunches or when you have guests over because you can prep it the night before and just pop it in the oven. The combination of savory sausage and fluffy eggs is a classic that never gets old. Plus it has a good balance of protein and vegetables if you add some peppers or spinach which makes it a healthier choice for breakfast or dinner.
