Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups (200g) bread cubes
- 1 cup (240ml) milk
- 1 cup (120g) shredded cheese
- 1 cup (150g cooked turkey sausage or chicken pieces)
- ½ cup (75g) diced bell peppers
- ½ cup (75g) chopped spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Add-ins:
- Mushrooms
- Onions
- Fresh herbs (parsley or chives)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a bundt pan to ensure the cake releases easily after baking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Layer Ingredients: Place the bread cubes, cooked turkey sausage or chicken pieces, diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, and shredded cheese evenly into the greased bundt pan, layering them to distribute the ingredients.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the bundt pan, allowing the bread cubes to soak up the liquid.
- Bake: Place the bundt pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool & Serve: Remove from oven and let the bundt cake cool slightly. Then invert it onto a serving plate, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use stale bread as it absorbs the egg mixture better, preventing sogginess.
- Grease the bundt pan well to ensure the breakfast cake releases easily and retains a clean shape.
- Pre-cook proteins like turkey sausage or chicken to avoid adding excess moisture to the casserole.
- For convenience, assemble the casserole the night before and bake it fresh in the morning.
- Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze individual portions for meal prep.
