Ingredients

Scale

32 oz frozen shredded hash browns
3 tbsp butter
1 lb pork sausage
8 large eggs
1.5 cups whole milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup fresh chives
1 tsp sea salt flakes
1/2 tsp cracked black pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded hash browns, melted butter, sea salt, and black pepper. Spread the mixture evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Evenly distribute the cooked sausage over the hash brown layer.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and whole milk. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and hash brown layers.
Top with shredded sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheeses.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle fresh chives on top before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, feel free to add diced bell peppers or onions to the sausage while cooking. You can also substitute the sausage with a turkey or vegetarian option if desired.
