Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Lasagna Noodles
If using regular lasagna noodles, cook them according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Scrambled Eggs
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add butter, and scramble the eggs until softly set. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3: Cook the Sausage and Veggies
In the same skillet, cook the breakfast sausage until browned. If using bell peppers and onions, sauté them until soft. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4: Prepare the Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Add garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper. Remove from heat.
