Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 3 cups frozen hash browns
• 0.75 pound breakfast sausage
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 cup green onions (optional, chopped)
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess grease and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 5

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, and optional green onions until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy! Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave.
