Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese (softened)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons chopped chives or green onions (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into crumbles. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cream cheese until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.
- Whisk egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the hashbrowns and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese.
- Combine ingredients: Add the sausage and cream cheese mixture to the egg mixture and mix until evenly combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Rest and garnish: Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chives or green onions if desired.
Notes
- You can prepare this casserole the night before and bake it in the morning.
