Pumpkin Bread & Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Pumpkin Bread & Sausage Breakfast Casserole

Cubed pumpkin bread soaks up eggs and milk in this breakfast casserole with sausage and Sage Infused Olive Oil. It’s sweet and savory in the same forkful, which settles at least one brunch debate.

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • chopped green onions
