Potato, Sausage, and Veggie Breakfast Bake
This is a holiday favorite, but we still enjoy it year round!
This rustic yet elegant egg bake is always a star at our holiday brunches. It looks beautiful on the table, and our loved ones think it’s delicious. Hearty potatoes and sausage mix with colorful vegetables and herbs to create amazing flavor. We love how the bright green spinach and red peppers add pops of color to the creamy yellow eggs and cheese that make this dish so satisfying.
The taste is phenomenal! Fresh ingredients go a long way here, so when time allows, we like to put in the extra effort, but frozen shortcuts are lifesavers when we’re in a pinch. Either way, this sausage and egg bake always warms the hearts of our out-of-town guests during the holidays!
