Sunny-side-up Casserole is a classic breakfast meal in many households. It is a simple casserole dish that involves sausages, eggs, and cheese; easy to make and requires only one baking dish. The combination of gooey melted cheese, creamy sour cream-sausage mixture, and runny yolks is irresistible. Plus, it is an ideal meal to serve to a large crowd, as it is easy to scale the recipe up or down without much trouble.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	In a bowl, mix grated cheddar cheese, dry mustard, paprika, cayenne, and salt.
3.	In another bowl, mix together sour cream and cooked sausage.
4.	Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
5.	Spread the sausage mixture in the baking dish evenly.
6.	Layer the grated cheese mixture on top of the sausage.
7.	Crack eggs on top of the grated cheese mixture and spread it out so that each egg has equal space.
8.	Bake for 25-30 minutes until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
9.	Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
