Breakfast Lasagna image

This is one hearty lasagna. It will be great for a brunch or big weekend breakfast. But, it would be great for dinner too! The milk sauce takes a bit of time, but it's the glue that brings the whole dish together. The Italian sausage, the mixture of cheeses and eggs create layers of yumminess! Plus, I love that you can make this...

The lasagna was a little dry for my taste. I would recommend adding more sauce or using a creamier cheese.

I used a spicy sausage in this recipe and it gave the lasagna a nice kick. I would definitely recommend using a mild sausage if you don't like spicy food.

I wasn't sure about the hash browns in this recipe, but they actually worked really well. They added a nice crispy texture.

I've tried many breakfast lasagna recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of flavors is perfect and the texture is amazing.

I made this for a brunch party and it was a huge success. Everyone raved about how delicious it was. The make-ahead option was also a lifesaver.
