Notes
Serving this to adults for brunch? Throw in a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a kick!
To lighten up this casserole, use turkey sausage instead of pork.
If you’re not a fan of kale, use tender baby spinach.
To toast the English muffins, bake at 400°F for 10 minutes.
Use any bread you like, such as sourdough, baguettes, or ciabatta.
You can use any cheese you like this recipe; I used a mixture of sharp cheddar and Gruyere.
Serve with your favorite fruit salad and biscuits.
