BAKED ENGLISH MUFFIN RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Cook ground sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring often, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Drain excess grease.
• Spread torn English muffin pieces along the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Layer cooked sausage, onions, bell peppers, and Cheddar cheese over English muffin pieces.
• Combine eggs, milk, basil, and pepper in a bowl; whisk until well combined. Pour egg mixture into the baking dish. Gently press down on top of the casserole mixture with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Uncover casserole and bake in the preheated oven until casserole is set and eggs are cooked, about 35 minutes. Check by inserting a knife. Let cool for 15 minutes before eating.

Steps:

• Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Cut the English muffins into 1-inch cubes. (Do not halve them horizontally as you would normally for the toaster.) Place the cubes on a sheet pan and bake until lightly toasted, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage and scallions, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is evenly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
• Meanwhile, add the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to large bowl; whisk to combine.
• To assemble, sprinkle half of the sausage, then half of the cheese onto the bottom of the baking dish. Add the English muffin cubes on top in one even layer. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the pan, pressing down lightly to make sure all the bread is moistened. Top with remaining sausage and cheese. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the casserole until puffed and cooked through, about 40 minutes. (It may need a few more minutes, if your casserole has been in the refrigerator overnight.) Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.
