Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Prepare a 9 x 13 baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
- In a large frying pan over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until brown and no longer pink. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Using the same frying pan, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Cook until tender and onions are translucent.
- Combine the browned sausage with the cooked vegetables in the pan.
Assembly
- In a medium bowl, combine Ricotta cheese, oregano, and basil. Mix until well blended.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated.
- Layer the lasagna: Start with ¼ cup of the egg mixture at the bottom of the baking dish. Layer on 3 lasagna noodles, followed by half of the Ricotta mixture, half of the sausage and vegetable mixture, and 1 cup of sharp and Monterey jack cheese. Add another layer of 3 noodles, the remaining Ricotta mixture, remaining sausage and vegetable mixture, 1 cup of cheese, and the remaining egg mixture. Top with 3 noodles and remaining cheese.
Baking
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and eggs are set.
Notes
For added flavor, try using spicy sausage or adding a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. Use fresh herbs whenever possible; they elevate the freshness of the dish. Prepare the night before for convenience. Consider whole grain noodles for a healthier twist. Rest after baking to set layers.
