Preparing the Base
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it warms, crumble the breakfast sausage into a large skillet and cook over medium‑high heat, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. After 5–6 minutes the sausage should be browned and crisp, releasing flavorful fat that will later coat the eggs and beans.
