Sensational Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

• 1/2 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 green pepper, chopped
• 1/2 red pepper, chopped
• 1/2 package lean ground sausage (if using a pre-cooked sausage, omit step 1)
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 1/2 cups egg whites or a mix of whites and whole eggs (You can use whole eggs, but it changes the calorie count).
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 3 wedges Garlic and Herb Laughing Cow cheese
• butter to grease pan

Directions

Cook sausage until cooked completely. Remove sausage from pan and place into a bowl. Add onion, sausage, and peppers to pan and cook until completely soft.

Cut Laughing Cow wedges into small pieces.

In a separate bowl, mix egg beaters, milk, garlic salt, pepper, and dry mustard.

Add sausage back to the pan with peppers and onions. Place cut pieces of Laughing Cow throughout pan. Pour egg mixture on top. Leave on burner about 8-10 minutes or until mixture is set on the bottom and is starting to set on the sides. Remove from burner and place under the broiler for about another 10 minutes or until eggs are cooked throughout. If you would like, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese at the end.

If you would like to make this in the oven as a casserole, you can place cooked sausage, onions, and peppers in the bottom of a casserole dish and pour egg mixture on top. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until cooked throughout. This can be assembled ahead of time and cooked in the morning or cooked ahead of time and reheated.
