High-protein sausage-egg breakfast bake

This breakfast casserole is loaded with veggies and protein, and it couldn’t be simpler to make. Keep it on hand for the week, reheating pieces as you need them for 2 to 2 ½ minutes in the microwave. (If you forget to thaw the frozen veggies ahead of time, you can microwave them for a couple of minutes to thaw. Be sure to pat them dry so they don’t release too much water into the casserole).
