Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

- 3 cups frozen hash browns (shredded)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup green onions (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the greased baking dish as the bottom layer.
Sprinkle the cooked sausage evenly over the hash browns.
Layer the shredded cheddar cheese and mozzarella cheese over the sausage.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cheese and sausage layers, ensuring it soaks through to the hash browns.
Sprinkle chopped green onions on top for color and added flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, and slice into portions to serve. Enjoy your cheesy breakfast casserole!
