# What You'll Need:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 pound breakfast sausage
02 -
30 ounces frozen shredded hash browns
03 -
8 large eggs
04 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
05 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 -
1/2 cup whole milk
→ Seasonings
07 -
1 teaspoon salt
08 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
09 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
→ Garnish
11 -
2 green onions, chopped
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart until fully browned without becoming crisp. Drain excess fat to prevent a greasy result.
02 -
Whisk the eggs, milk, and softened cream cheese with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and lump-free.
03 -
Fold the cooked sausage, frozen shredded hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine evenly without overmixing to preserve hash brown texture.
04 -
Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish thoroughly. Pour in the mixture and spread evenly with a spatula.
05 -
Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the surface is golden and the center is set.
06 -
Let the baked dish rest for 5 minutes before slicing for clean portions. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to guarantee a silky, lump-free custard.
02 -
Allowing the dish to rest briefly after baking helps slices hold their shape.
03 -
For a crisper texture, briefly toast hash browns in a pan before adding to the mixture.
04 -
Refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days or freeze in individual portions for convenient reheating.
