Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 3 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and ground black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the sliced smoked sausage and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to warm through.

Step 6

Transfer the potato, vegetable, and sausage mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and sausage, ensuring everything is well coated.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
