Servings: 8 people
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ lb breakfast sausage
- 4 cups cooked potato peeled and cubed - you can use frozen hash brown too.
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup almond milk
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 6 strips bacon cooked and chopped
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and butter a baking pan. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, add olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add sausage and cook over medium-high heat until browned, crumbling the sausage with a spoon as it cooks. Add potato and mix all well to combine. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add eggs, almond milk, cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder and half of the cooked bacon. Whisk all until completely combined.
- Add sausage and potatoes to the casserole dish and pour the egg mixture over it. Top with the remaining bacon.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- Shredding cheese from a block will melt better than pre-shredded cheese.
- You can spray the baking dish with non-stick spray if you prefer.
- One to two additional eggs can help make the casserole more firm if you prefer.
- To store: Leftovers can be kept in a container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- To reheat: Reheat the casserole in the microwave or in the oven.
- To freeze: When ready to eat, let thaw in the fridge overnight and then bake in the oven until it has heated through.
