A hearty breakfast casserole featuring sausage, green onions, and creamy eggs topped with melted cheddar cheese, perfect for family gatherings or lazy weekends.

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 (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 (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the breakfast sausage, red bell pepper, and the light green parts of the green onions for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are soft. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, optional Tabasco, salt, black pepper, and half of the green onion tops.
  4. Stir in 1 ½ cups of the cheddar cheese and the thawed hash browns into the egg mixture.
  5. Gently fold in the cooled sausage mixture until well combined.
  6. Pour everything into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 50 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, and raise the oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  9. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the casserole is golden brown.
  10. Once out of the oven, allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle the remaining green onion tops on for garnish.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave as needed.
