This breakfast recipe turns the classic flavors of a SausageEgg McMuffin (sausage,egg, cheese, and Englishmuffin) into a delicious breakfast casserole. You can prep the night before and toss in the oven the next morning for an easy breakfast.
The Sausage Egg McMuffin is undoubtedly one of the most iconic fast-food breakfastsof all time.
It’s cost-efficient, has magical hangover-healing properties (allegedly), and the savory blend of flavors never fail to please.
The only thing that could take the Egg McMuffin to the next level is turning it into a breakfast casserole. Good news: I’m on it!
I made this Egg McMuffin Casserole the first time because some friends had rented a beach house down in Laguna for the weekend. They invited me to come under one condition: that I provide them with a super delicious breakfast.
Not too uncommon of a request when you’re a food blogger.
I’d say it got the job done because there wasn’t a single crumb left!
Breakfast casseroles are usually best if you prep them the night before, which works out great because in the morning all the work is already done! Just pop it into the oven and lounge on the couch drinking mimosas until it’s ready.
To make the Egg McMuffin Casserole, layer cut English Muffins, cooked breakfast sausage, and cheddar cheese in a deep 8×8 baking dish.
Then pour the egg and milk mixture evenly over the entire casserole.
At this point, you want to cover the Sausage Egg McMuffin Casserole with saran wrap and store in the refrigeratorfor at least two hours. I prefer to let mine soak up the creamy egg mixture overnight.
I like to top mine with maple syrup, which sort of turns it into a McGriddle. Janette prefers to douse hers in ketchup. This horrifies me but to each her own.
Whatever condiment you choose to adorn your McMuffin Casserole with, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Can this be made with bacon or ham and biscuits instead of English muffins?

Outstanding Janica! Increased the recipe for a 9 x 13 pan. Everyone was saying it was the best they’ve ever had. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to make it for our office party.Reply
Sandy B says
I made this and I am soooo happy I did! I didnt use as many english muffins tho, I used a single layer twice. I also used 1lb of homemade sausage, (all I had was ground pork). There is only the two of us now but I want more. I will double, or make two next time.

Debbie Capra says
Hi, I’ve never made a casserole like this. Will there be scrambled eggs in there or does it all soak into the muffins?
Reply
Jessica Pinney says
Hi Debbie! The egg/milk mixture mostly soaks into the bread.

Vivian says
Hi, just checking. Is it 4 whole English Muffins (8 half pieces) or 8 whole English Muffins? Thanks. Sure looks good

Jessica Pinney says
8 whole English muffins.

I’m going to try and toast the english muffins first. See if I can get a little crispness to it. I love Egg McMuffins. Will try this recipe this weekend. Thanks. 🙂

Laura says
Any idea about doubling this? Or making in 9×13? Thanks!
Reply
Candi Kirkegard says
Making this right now, doubled everything, except only used 12 English muffins. Forgot to let set for 2 hours, so hoping turns out just as good 😉

Brandi Shoemaker says
Did it work without letting it soak for 2 hours? The recipe doesn’t say to set before cooking but I went back and saw it in the story. Thanks for mentioning it and r I wouldn’t have know, I always skip directly to the recipe!

Candi R Kirkegard says
Honestly, that was quite awhile ago, so can’t remember. I’m sure it was just fine, or I may have commented on my own comment 😂 Think you can’t go wrong anyway you make it.
Momuv3princesses says
Made this last weekend with bacon and have it in the oven right now with sausage! My family loved it! So easy and yummy! The only change I made was to drizzle a very small amount of melted butter over it to give it that *greasy* McD’s taste. Totally unnecessary though. Yummy both ways!Reply
Leah says
Look amazing. Can you make this the night before?

Joy says
This looks so good! I have a question though. I am not a fan of un-toasted English muffins. Do the English muffins toast up at all while it’s cooking?
Reply
Jessica Pinney says
Hi, Joy! I would not say that they end up “toasted” – I think you’ll be disappointed if that’s what you want. You could toast your English muffins before baking. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out.

Marlene says
I’m responding to Joy’s comment about toasting the English muffins first. I would like to know if she tried it because I think I am going to toast the muffins as well.

Krista Slye says
Great question! Also, can it be made the night before?
Reply
Marlene says
This looks delicious! Can I use a 9×13 pan and double the recipe?
Reply
Marlene says
Should this be covered when baking?

Kim Rainey says
I’m excited about making this Sunday morning!
