    Feeding a group? This make ahead Sausage and Pepper Jack Egg Bake uses croutons for even easier prep!

    Now it's no secret that brunch is a favorite meal around this house, and this Sausage and Pepper Jack Egg Bake is my go-to breakfast for guests. Basically, if you have ever been an overnight guest in my house or eaten brunch here, you have been served this egg bake. That's how much of a go-to it is. It's that good AND that easy. And did I mention it's make ahead? Pretty awesome combo, huh? 

    Although I love a big breakfast, the last place I want to be is in the kitchen missing out on the fun with my guests. That's when I turn to this Sausage and Pepper Jack Egg Bake. There's nothing better than sausage, cheese and eggs all baked in a fluff of deliciousness, especially with the zip of the pepper jack cheese and Dijon mustard.

    But this egg bake is near and dear to my heart for another reason: the base is seasoned croutons. How easy is that? Add some mimosas and fresh fruit, and brunch is served.

    Now you have a new brunch go-to, too.
