Cheesy Egg White Breakfast Sausage Bake Recipe
Cheesy egg white sausage bake – casserole style
Nothing says, “good morning,” like eggs, sausage, and hash browns. This sausage egg bake is a classic big breakfast….in a casserole dish!
Easy breakfast recipes, like jalapeno corn bread bake, southwest frittata and turkey sweet potato hash, are my favorite for meal prep so that I have something to easily grab and go.
Egg whites, sausage, hash browns, and mozzarella cheese come together to make an egg breakfast casserole that’s great for meal prep, serving big families, or holiday gatherings.
Using egg whites and low-fat cheese reduces calories and fat but has the meaty goodness we expect from a sausage egg casserole. Feel free to add other veggies or shredded cheese. I went with red pepper, onions, and mozzarella but throw in what you love!
Why you’ll love this recipe:
- 25 grams of protein per serving.
- Simple ingredients.
- Cheesy, meaty and flavorful.
- Great breakfast for holiday mornings.
Dairy and gluten-free info
This cheesy egg casserole is gluten-free if you use gluten-free hash browns or swap them out for potatoes or sweet potatoes. You’ll have to cook the potatoes prior to adding them to your casserole.
For dairy-free, omit the mozzarella cheese or sub for your favorite alternative. Keep in mind, that dairy-free cheese tends to melt differently, so may change the consistency of your dish. Or try this dairy-free egg casserole with turkey sausage for a tried and true recipe.

Another winner! This is super filling and delicious. Even my 14 month old demands I share it with her :). Your recipes make hitting my protein goals a lot more enjoyable. Thank you!!
Can I prep this the night before and then pop into oven in the morning? Also, if I’m doubling the recipe would I need to use two separate 9×13 dishes?
Hands down one of my favorite meal prep breakfast recipes! I switched out the pork sausage for turkey sausage to lower the fat a little, and it’s delicious!
My fav breakfast recipe so far! I loved the cornbread one, but this one takes the cake. I’ve had for breakfasts all week and look forward to it every day!
What size baking dish do you use.
Standard 9×13
What other brands of hash browns can you use as a good alternative? I can’t find any stores near me who carry Alexia foods.
Any will work!
I made using turkey sausage links, as that was all I had, and it turned out great!
Is this using a 32 oz container of egg whites?
Yes
This is the best breakfast meal prep EVER. It’s a staple in my meal prep every week. My husband and I LOVE it. Thank you!
Is this with a 9×13 pan?
Yes
Can you double recipe in the same pan?
Looks amazing. Going to make it this weekend. What if I use turkey sausage? How would that change the macros? Thanks for all you do! My husband and I love your recipes!! We appreciate you so much!
Yes, it would change the macros and would have way less fat. Just create the recipe with your ingredients in MyFitnessPal to adjust. I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you!!
Thank you!
This recipe is so yummy!
Does one package of sausage mean one pound? Thank you!!
Yes, I am using a 16 oz. roll.
Super easy and delicious meal to prep! Easy to store and eat all week!
