We had this breakfast casserole at a bed and breakfast in Branson, MO (Anchor Inn on the Lake) and absolutely loved it. I don't like breakfast casseroles that are too dry or too eggy and this one is perfect!

ENGLISH MUFFIN BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
This easy, make-ahead casserole makes creative use of classic breakfast ingredients like eggs, sausage, Cheddar cheese and English muffins. It's a perfect no-stress centerpiece for a special-occasion breakfast: Simply assemble the casserole the night before and pop it in the oven before breakfast. Just remember to make sure to toast the English muffins until they've dried out a bit, which will help them absorb the egg mixture. For a vegetarian version, use vegetarian sausage or omit it altogether.

Steps:
- Generously grease the bottom and sides of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with butter. Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut the English muffins into 1-inch cubes. (Do not halve them horizontally as you would normally for the toaster.) Place the cubes on a sheet pan and bake until lightly toasted, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a medium or large skillet over medium-high. Add the sausage and scallions, a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper and cook, breaking up the sausage with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is evenly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Meanwhile, add the eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to large bowl; whisk to combine.
- To assemble, sprinkle half of the sausage, then half of the cheese onto the bottom of the baking dish. Add the English muffin cubes on top in one even layer. Carefully pour the egg mixture into the pan, pressing down lightly to make sure all the bread is moistened. Top with remaining sausage and cheese. Wrap well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to overnight.
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Bake the casserole until puffed and cooked through, about 40 minutes. (It may need a few more minutes, if your casserole has been in the refrigerator overnight.) Cool for 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

This hearty breakfast meal, full of fresh tomatoes and mushrooms, gets much of its terrific flavor and texture from the English muffins that line the bottom of the dish. I found this on wholefoodsmarket.com

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables in your casserole to add flavor and nutrition. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.
- Season your casserole well with salt and pepper. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Don't overcook your casserole. The eggs should be set, but not rubbery. A good way to check for doneness is to insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done.
- Serve your casserole hot with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, or avocado.
Conclusion:
English muffin breakfast casserole is a delicious, easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or a weekday breakfast. It is also a great way to use up leftover English muffins. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a hearty and satisfying breakfast that the whole family will enjoy.
