Ingredients:
- 1 pound breakfast sausage (mild or spicy)
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups frozen hash browns (or cubed bread)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the sausage: In a skillet, cook the breakfast sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles. Drain any excess fat and set the sausage aside.
- Assemble the casserole: In the prepared baking dish, spread the hash browns (or cubed bread) evenly on the bottom. Layer the cooked sausage over the hash browns, followed by the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese layers.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool slightly. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve warm.
