Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound breakfast sausage mild or spicy
  • 1 package 30 oz frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 red bell pepper diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Let cream cheese soften and ensure hashbrowns are thawed.
  2. Cook sausage in skillet. Add onion and bell pepper halfway through. Add garlic last minute. Drain fat.
  3. In a large bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Whisk in milk, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  4. In another bowl, mix softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup of egg mixture until smooth.
  5. Layer thawed hashbrowns in baking dish. Add sausage mixture. Pour cream cheese blend, then remaining egg mix.
  6. Top with cheddar and mozzarella. Bake 45–50 minutes until set and golden. Cover with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chives.
