How to Make Make Ahead Egg Bake

  1. Cook 1 pound breakfast sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until crumbly and browned. Drain well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry, and the cooked sausage to the egg mixture. Stir to combine.
  4. Stir in 1/2 of a 1.25 ounce can of French fried onions.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  8. Bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining French fried onions over the top.
  10. Bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the onions are golden brown.
  11. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set further and makes it easier to serve.
