Notes
- Season the eggs to your liking if you want more flavor. You can add southwestern spices, some garlic, or a splash of hot sauce to give the eggs a bit of heat.
- Use whatever kind of breakfast sausage you like. There really is no right answer for these. If you like a sweeter sausage, use that or if you prefer a spicy sausage, then use that!
- Don't skip the cheese! The tiny sliver melts and acts as a delicious glue that holds everything together during baking.
