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.
One serving of egg casserole on a plate for serving.

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.

  1. 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!

  3. 5 stars
    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!

  4. 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.

    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!

    1. 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!!
