Notes
- You can switch out the sausage for any breakfast meat. I typically use bacon, turkey bacon, pork sausage, or turkey sausage in my breakfast dishes.
- You can use your milk of choice for this recipe I’ve noticed that whole milk vs 2% vs half and half doesn’t make much of a difference. Plant based milks can be used as well. I used a lactose free 2% milk in mine.
- The vegetables can be changed out for your vegetables of choice. Thats the great thing about this dish is that is fully customizable. If you add more or less vegetables it may change the cooking time.
- Any cheese can be used for this recipe. I am using a 3 cheese mexican blend (lactose free), but any shredded cheese will work.
