Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 7×11-inch (or 8×11-inch) baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Brown the sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain any excess grease and set aside to cool slightly.
Whisk together in a large bowl the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth and well combined.
Layer the cooked sausage, optional vegetables, and shredded cheese in the greased baking dish. Sprinkle bread cubes on top if using. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Enjoy it warm for the best taste experience!
