Southwest Egg Bake
There is no better way to start your day then with a great breakfast. Making a delicious breakfast is something that my family enjoys, especially if it has all the fixins! This Southwest Egg Bake has it all, from the bacon and sausage, to the cheese and diced green chilies.
This is a simple breakfast to put together, and can feed “an army!” I actually made this for quite a few people and this is definitely a big breakfast. You can adjust the ingredients to fit your family’s needs.
As you can see, this is loaded with all sorts of goodies. Just cook up the bacon and sausage, mix up all the other ingredients and pop in the oven. Approximately an hour later, you will be putting some smiles on your family’s faces when you serve them this!
With each bite you will get a variety of flavor. This is great served with some country style potatoes, along with some country biscuits. Yum, this makes one delicious hearty meal! This would also be a great meal to serve for brunch.
So next time you are wanting a delicious hearty breakfast, make this wonderful southwest egg bake!

If I were to cut the recipe in half how would that adjust the cooking time?
Do you freeze this after you are done eating it?
Can you prepare this recipe the night before?
Hi Pamela, yes you can except I would add the eggs right before it goes in the oven. Cook everything up the night before, then just add it to the eggs the next morning. :)
Do you think you could make this in a crockpot or would it be too dry? I’m thinking re Christmas morning
Hi Debbie, I am quite not sure. I just have never made it in a crock pot but if you end up doing it, let me know how it turns out, if you wouldn’t mind. :)
Could you please elaborate a bit more on “diced green chilies”? Does this mean diced green chilies in the 4 oz. cans? (If so, would I need 2 cans?) Or if you diced fresh peppers, could you tell me what type of pepper you used? Thanks much!
Hi Diane, I did use a can of diced green chilies. One can is all you need. Thank you for your comment! :)
