Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 0.75 pound breakfast sausage
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup green onions (optional, chopped)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, and optional green onions until evenly distributed.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
