Ingredients
1 pound breakfast sausage
6 large eggs
1 cup milk
3 cups frozen diced potatoes or hash browns
1 small onion, diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika
Olive oil or butter for sautéing
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
3. In the same skillet, sauté diced onion in a little oil or butter until softened.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
5. Add cooked sausage, sautéed onions, potatoes, and cheese to the bowl. Stir to combine.
6. Pour mixture into the greased baking dish and spread evenly.
7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is golden.
8. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Swap potatoes for tater tots for extra crispiness.
Add bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for more veggies.
Great for meal prep — reheats beautifully and freezes well.
