A hearty breakfast casserole featuring savory sausage, creamy eggs, and gooey cheddar cheese, perfect for family gatherings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage
  • 6 green onions, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (optional)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 (30 ounce) package frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the breakfast sausage with the chopped red bell pepper and the light parts of the green onions over medium-high heat until the sausage is fully cooked.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Tabasco (if using), salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Stir in half of the green onion tops and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Fold in the thawed hash browns and the sautéed sausage mixture.
  6. Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes.
  8. After 50 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle on the remaining cheese, and increase the oven temperature to 400°F. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  9. Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with the remaining green onion tops.

Notes

Feel free to swap the sausage for turkey or a vegetarian option. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
