Ingredients
  

For the Noodles
  • 12 oz Lasagna Noodles Substitute with whole wheat noodles for a healthier option.
For the Egg Mixture
  • 6 Eggs (large) Fresh eggs yield the best flavor.
  • 1 cup Milk Can substitute with almond milk for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper Adjust to taste.
For the Savory Filling
  • 1 lb Breakfast Sausage Consider turkey sausage for a lighter version.
  • 8 oz Bacon (cooked and chopped) Use pancetta for a gourmet twist.
  • 1 small Onion (diced) Shallots can be used as an alternative.
For the Cheesy Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Butter Can use olive oil for a lighter version.
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour Gluten-free flour can be swapped if needed.
  • 1 cup Additional Milk Use any plant-based milk if lactose-free.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (grated) Nutritional yeast works well for a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Fresh garlic can be substituted for a stronger taste.
For the Cheesy Layers

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an evenly cooked dish.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onions over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter, whisk in flour, and gradually add milk until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Mix in Parmesan and garlic powder.
  7. Layer in a greased baking dish: noodles, egg mixture, sausage, onions, bacon, and shredded cheese. Repeat layers ending with cheese sauce and mozzarella.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and lightly golden.
  9. Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to help layers set.

Notes

Gently scramble the eggs to prevent overcooking; they will continue to cook in the oven. Always opt for freshly shredded cheese for better melting quality.
