A comforting and crispy breakfast bake combining sausage, frozen hash browns, eggs, and cheese, perfect for busy or lazy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 500g) frozen shredded hash browns
  • 1 pound (450g) ground pork sausage
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, crumbling and cooking until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed, then transfer to a bowl.
  3. In the same skillet, add olive oil or butter and cook the diced onion until translucent and slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes. Add garlic powder and smoked paprika, stirring for 30 seconds.
  4. In a mixing bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  5. In a large bowl, gently fold together the frozen hash browns, cooked sausage, sautéed onions with spices, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the hash brown mix and stir gently to coat evenly.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  8. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes until bubbly, golden on top, and crispy on the edges. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover with foil for the remaining time.
  9. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving to help it set and make slicing easier.

Notes

Do not thaw hash browns before mixing to ensure crispiness. Pat hash browns dry if watery. Broil for 2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness but watch closely to avoid burning. Rest bake before slicing for cleaner cuts. Use turkey or plant-based sausage for leaner or vegetarian options. Check sausage and seasoning labels for gluten-free adaptations.
