Description
A delicious crowd-pleaser for brunch. Can also be made the night before and refrigerated, then baked in the morning.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled
- cooking spray
- 1 (16 ounce) package pork breakfast sausage
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 7 eggs
- 1 (8 ounce) package Cheddar cheese, grated, divided
- ½ cup milk
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
- 1. Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
- 2. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are soft, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove potatoes from oven and let cool until safe to handle, at least 15 minutes.
- 3. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a casserole dish or 9x13-inch pan with cooking spray.
- 4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer sausage to a bowl. Saute onion in the same skillet until translucent, about 5 minutes. Transfer onion to the bowl with the cooked sausage.
- 5. Mix eggs, half the Cheddar cheese, milk, salt, and pepper into the bowl with the sausage mixture.
- 6. Grate potatoes and add to the bowl of sausage mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared dish; place remaining Cheddar cheese on top.
- 7. Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly, about 35 minutes.
