Description
A comforting and hearty casserole combining savory sausage, creamy eggs, and crispy hashbrowns, perfect for brunch or breakfast-for-dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package frozen hashbrowns
- 1 pound sausage (turkey or pork)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole to perfection.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the sausage until it becomes crumbly and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remember to drain any excess fat.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Layer it up: Grease your baking dish. Start by layering the frozen hashbrowns evenly on the bottom, followed by the browned sausage. Pour the egg mixture over this assembly.
- Add cheese: Generously sprinkle your chosen shredded cheese on top.
- Bake: Slide your casserole into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the eggs have set firm and the top is golden brown.
- Let it rest: Once baked, allow it to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
Make this casserole a day in advance and refrigerate before baking. For a quicker option, try using an air fryer.
