Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package frozen hash brown patties
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium-high heat, breaking it into small crumbles. Cook until the sausage is completely browned and no pink remains, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- While the sausage is cooking, arrange the frozen hash brown patties in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping if necessary to cover the entire bottom.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Once the sausage is cooked, drain any excess grease and sprinkle the browned sausage evenly over the hash brown patties.
- Pour the egg mixture slowly and evenly over the sausage and hash brown layer, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the casserole, covering it completely.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the casserole to set and makes cutting easier.
- Slice into squares and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions for added color and flavor.
