Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 0.5 cup diced onions
- 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a light coat of olive oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Add the breakfast sausage to the skillet, breaking it into small pieces, and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the frozen shredded hash browns evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the cooked sausage mixture over the hash browns, followed by half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layers. Gently press down with a spatula to make sure everything is submerged in the egg mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until the casserole is set in the center and the top is golden brown. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious breakfast casserole!
