Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium green bell pepper
- 1 small onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or butter.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breakfast sausage and cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess grease.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by the sautéed vegetables.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish, ensuring it covers all the ingredients.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the cheese on top is melted and golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish, and serve warm. Enjoy!
