Description

A hearty breakfast casserole featuring layers of sausage, hash browns, eggs, and cheddar, perfect for brunch or feeding a crowd.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 green onions, chopped (reserve some green tops for garnish)
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream (substitute whole milk for a lighter result)
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco (optional)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
  • 1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add sausage, bell pepper, and the white/light-green parts of green onions. Cook until sausage is browned and vegetables are softened, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk eggs with heavy cream, Dijon, Tabasco, salt, black pepper, and half of green onion tops until smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 1/2 cups cheddar and hash browns into the egg mixture. Mix in the cooled sausage mixture.
  5. Pour into the prepared baking dish, cover tightly with foil, and bake at 350°F for about 50 minutes.
  6. Remove foil, sprinkle remaining cheddar on top, increase oven to 400°F, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and set.
  7. Let rest for 10 minutes, garnish with green onion tops, slice, and serve.
