Ingredients
- Frozen Hashbrowns (3 cups) – Crisp and golden for the perfect base.
- Eggs (8 large) – Fluffy and protein-packed.
- Milk (1 cup) – Makes the eggs extra creamy.
- Cooked Breakfast Sausage (1 lb, crumbled) – Adds savory, hearty flavor.
- Cheddar Cheese (2 cups, shredded) – Melts beautifully for a gooey bite.
- Onion (1 small, diced) – Adds a little sweetness and depth.
- Bell Pepper (1, diced) – For a pop of color and mild crunch.
- Garlic Powder (½ tsp) – Enhances the flavor.
- Salt & Black Pepper (to taste) – Essential seasoning.
- Olive Oil (1 tbsp) – Helps crisp up the hashbrowns.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil. Spread the frozen hashbrowns evenly in the dish. Bake for 10 minutes to crisp them up slightly.
While the hashbrowns are baking, heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the crumbled breakfast sausage until browned. Remove and drain excess grease. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell pepper for 2–3 minutes until softened.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Spread the cooked sausage and sautéed vegetables evenly over the baked hashbrowns. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Pair it with fresh fruit, toast, or a side of salsa for extra flavor.
Notes
- Use Pre-Cooked Hashbrowns: This helps them crisp up better in the oven.
- Make It Spicy: Add diced jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Make It Vegetarian: Swap the sausage for mushrooms or spinach.
- Dairy-Free? Use almond milk and dairy-free cheese.
