Blue Ribbon Recipe
Everyone should have a great breakfast casserole in their recipe box and this low-carb one does not disappoint. Whether serving for a holiday breakfast or a brunch with friends, it can be prepared the night before and then just pop it in the oven an hour before you're ready to eat. It's a little different than other recipes because there is no bread. We opted to add both the sausage and bacon, because why not... The final result is savory, super cheesy, and very good.

How To Make holiday overnight brunch eggs
-
Step 1Add the eggs and milk to a large bowl; beat well. Set aside.
-
Step 2Brown sausage, breaking it into small pieces, and drain well.
-
Step 3If you are adding bacon, cook it well, crumble, and drain.
-
Step 4Add the meat and 1/2 the cheeses to the egg mixture. Add the chiles, if using. (I like to make a smaller pan with chiles for those who like a kick).
-
Step 5Spray a glass oblong pan or casserole dish with cooking oil. Dust the bottom of the pan with the flour.
-
Step 6Sprinkle some Monterey Jack over the flour. This will form your crust.
-
Step 7Pour in the egg mixture.
-
Step 8Top with remaining cheeses.
-
Step 9Cover with foil and let sit overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Step 10Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Keep covered and bake for 60-70 minutes.
-
Step 11You may uncover for the last 5-10 minutes of baking. Enjoy!
-
Step 12Our family always enjoys this dish Christmas morning and is our favorite way to continue our annual holiday traditions!
