🍳 Incredible Breakfast Bake

This **Incredible Breakfast Bake** is a hearty, satisfying dish packed with eggs, sausage, hash browns, and cheese — all baked into a golden, fluffy casserole. It's perfect for holidays, brunch, or meal prep, and can be made the night before for stress-free mornings!

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) breakfast sausage (pork, turkey, or plant-based)
• 1 (20 oz) package frozen shredded hash browns (thawed)
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 10 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk (or unsweetened almond milk)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp paprika (optional, for color)
• 1/2 cup diced bell pepper or green onions (optional, for freshness)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat and spread in the baking dish.
3. Add hash browns & cheese: Layer hash browns over sausage, then sprinkle with cheese and optional veggies.
4. Make egg mixture: In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
5. Pour over: Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over the layers. Do not stir — it will settle naturally.
6. Bake 45–50 minutes until eggs are set and top is golden brown.
7. Cool 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
8. Optional: Garnish with extra cheese, green onions, or hot sauce.

Tip: For a make-ahead meal, assemble the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake in the morning (add 10–15 min if cold). Also freezes well — reheat slices in the oven or microwave.
