Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound breakfast sausage, cooked and drained
  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over the bottom of the dish.
  3. Layer the thawed hash browns over the sausage. Sprinkle with half of the cheddar cheese.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns and sausage layer.
  6. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. When ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Remove the plastic wrap.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining half of the cheddar cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, confirm your sausage brand does not contain gluten fillers.
  • You can substitute bacon or ham for the sausage.
  • If you are short on time, you can bake immediately, but the texture improves after chilling.
