- Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and vegetable layers. Gently stir to combine.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until center is firm and top is lightly golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes
Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into uniform 1/2-inch cubes for even cooking. Drain excess liquid from the sausage and vegetables to maintain texture.
