Warm and creamy bake blending sausage, eggs, cream cheese, hash browns, and cheddar with savory seasoning.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Meat

01 - 1 lb breakfast sausage

→ Vegetables

02 - 30 oz frozen shredded hash browns
03 - 2 green onions, chopped

→ Dairy

04 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
05 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 - 1/2 cup milk

→ Eggs

07 - 8 large eggs

→ Spices

08 - 1 tsp salt
09 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
10 - 1/2 tsp garlic powder
11 - 1/2 tsp onion powder

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up with a spatula until fully browned but not crisp. Drain excess fat.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk eggs, milk, softened cream cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth and lump-free.
03 - Add browned sausage, frozen hash browns, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine evenly without overmixing.
04 - Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
05 - Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden and the center is firm.
06 - Let rest for 5 minutes to firm up. Sprinkle chopped green onions over before serving warm.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Softened cream cheese ensures a smooth custard base without lumps.
02 - Resting before slicing improves structural integrity for neat servings.
03 - Toast hash browns briefly before mixing to reduce moisture and enhance texture.
