Ingredients

400 g breakfast sausage
8 eggs
2 cups milk
2 cups shredded cheese
3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
1 bell pepper, diced
1 onion, diced

Instructions

Brown the sausage with the onion and pepper, then drain.
Spread the hash brown potatoes in a greased baking dish.
Scatter the sausage mixture and half the cheese over the potatoes.

Whisk the eggs and milk with salt and pepper and pour over the top.
Sprinkle with the remaining cheese, cover, and chill overnight if making ahead.
Bake at 190C (375F) for 40 to 45 minutes until set and golden, then rest 5 minutes and slice.

💡 Chef's tip

Brown the sausage and cook off excess moisture from any vegetables first, so the casserole does not turn out watery.

Assembling the casserole the night before lets the bread and eggs soak together overnight, giving a custardy, evenly set bake rather than a dry or soggy one.
