Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 pounds ground breakfast sausage
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 sweet bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Use a spatula to break it into small pieces. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and bell peppers and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add the thawed hash browns, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top for a melty, golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the breakfast bake to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles for serving.
Enjoy your Deluxe Breakfast Bake as is or with a side of fresh fruit or hot sauce for extra flavor!
