Step 3: Add the Savory Fillings
Sprinkle the cooked sausage or bacon over the base, followed by the chopped onion and bell pepper. These ingredients add flavor, texture, and a touch of sweetness once baked.
Step 4: Mix the Egg Custard
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until smooth and well combined. This mixture is what transforms the bake into a creamy, satisfying dish.
Step 5: Assemble the Bake
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish. Gently press down with a spoon to make sure everything is soaked. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the middle should come out mostly clean.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Remove the breakfast bake from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This helps it firm up, making slicing easier. Serve warm and enjoy every comforting bite.
💡 Tips & Easy Variations
- Make it ahead: Assemble everything the night before, cover, refrigerate, and bake in the morning.
- Vegetarian option: Skip the meat and add mushrooms, spinach, or zucchini.
- Extra cheesy: Add a second layer of cheese in the middle for a gooey surprise.
