Description

A rich, creamy, and cheesy breakfast casserole made with hashbrowns, sausage, eggs, and cream cheese. Perfect for brunches, holidays, or make-ahead meals.


Ingredients

Scale

1 pound breakfast sausage

8 large eggs

8 oz cream cheese, cubed

3 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed

1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped chives or green onions for garnish


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

Cook sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if needed.

Add cream cheese to hot sausage and stir until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Spread thawed hashbrowns in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish.

Top with sausage and cream cheese mixture.

Pour egg mixture evenly over the casserole.

Sprinkle cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.

Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes until eggs are set and top is golden brown.

Remove from oven, let sit for 5–10 minutes, garnish with chives or green onions, and serve.

Notes

For a spicier version, use hot sausage or add diced jalapeños.

Can be made ahead the night before and baked fresh in the morning.

Let it rest before slicing for cleaner portions.
