Description
The more eggs, the firmer, and less likely to deflate, the casserole will be. Mushrooms tend to hold a lot of moisture, so if you use a lot of them, you may want to sauté them first to release some of their water. Sausage should be browned and cooked through first. Can also uses spices such as curry and cumin.

2-3 cups grated cheddar cheese

Breakfast is one of my favotite meals.. I'd be more tempted to try this without mushrooms however. Mushrooms for breakfast don't sound too appealing, thanks!
I tried this and it was pretty good. I would recommend going on the lower side of the recommended amount of eggs. More eggs surely produces more food but the ingredients don't have enough concentration
