Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 1 medium bell pepper (chopped, any color)
- 12 ounces smoked sausage (sliced)
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and tender.
Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the sliced smoked sausage and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.
Transfer the potato, vegetable, and sausage mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sausage, ensuring everything is well coated.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set, the cheese is melted, and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
