Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound spicy sausage (ground or removed from casings)
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 1 large onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 cups potatoes, diced
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 6 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little olive oil or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground spicy sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to brown and slightly soften. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, and red chili flakes.

Step 5

Transfer the sausage and vegetable mixture into the greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly across the bottom.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and vegetables in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.

Step 8

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the spicy breakfast bake from the oven, and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions and cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Slice into portions and enjoy your hearty, spicy breakfast bake!
