Ingredients

• 8 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 pound breakfast sausage
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes (thawed)
• 0.5 cup green onions (sliced)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish with butter.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage, breaking it up into crumbles, until fully browned and cooked through. Drain excess grease and set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the thawed hash brown potatoes, cooked sausage, 1.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, and the sliced green onions to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the casserole.

Step 7

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. To check, insert a knife into the center – it should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting into squares or scooping to serve.

Step 9

Optional: Garnish with additional green onions or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
