Ingredients You’ll Need
20 oz shredded hash browns (thawed)
16 oz ground turkey sausage (cooked and drained, or substitute diced ham)
½ medium onion, finely diced
2 large red bell peppers, diced
10 oz broccoli florets, chopped
8 eggs
8 oz liquid egg whites (optional for added protein)
12 oz milk of your choice
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Step-by-Step Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the turkey sausage in a skillet, drain any excess fat, and set aside.
Prepare the egg mixture by whisking eggs, egg whites, milk, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
Layer the ingredients in the baking dish: hash browns, cooked sausage, peppers, broccoli, onion, and 1½ cups of cheese.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is coated.
Top with the remaining cheese for that irresistible golden crust.
Bake uncovered for 55-65 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned.
Serve and enjoy with your favorite toppings like salsa, avocado, or hot sauce!
Tips for Success
Thaw your hash browns: This ensures an even bake and prevents a watery texture.
Make it dairy-free: Use a non-dairy milk alternative and skip the cheese or use a vegan cheese substitute.
Add extra flavor: Try sprinkling fresh herbs like parsley or chives on top before serving.
