  When the peppers and onions are cooked through, remove from the pan and add the sausage. Cook the sausage until crumbled and mostly cooked through, lifting the grill lid to stir it every few minutes, about 8-10 minutes total.

  In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk and 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the other ingredients in the baking dish and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the eggs to absorb into the other ingredients.
