Description

This Sausage, Egg, and Cream Cheese Hashbrown Casserole is a hearty and comforting breakfast bake combining savory spicy Italian sausage, creamy eggs, softened cream cheese, crispy hashbrowns, and a blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Perfect for feeding a crowd or prepping ahead for busy mornings, it offers layers of flavor and a satisfying texture that’s golden and cheesy on top while moist and tender inside.

Ingredients

Scale

Proteins & Dairy

  • 1 lb spicy Italian sausage
  • 6 large eggs
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar & mozzarella blend)
  • 1/2 cup milk

Vegetables & Starches

  • 30 oz frozen hashbrowns

Seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a large baking dish thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the spicy Italian sausage until it is browned and crumbly, ensuring it is fully cooked through.
  4. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, frozen hashbrowns, softened cream cheese, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until evenly incorporated.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir half of the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend into the mixture, distributing it evenly.
  6. Assemble Casserole: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top for a golden cheesy crust.
  7. Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set and cooked through. Remove from oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing to ensure smooth incorporation.
  • Use a cast-iron or non-stick skillet for cooking sausage to avoid sticking and facilitate browning.
  • Check doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
  • Feel free to substitute spicy Italian sausage with mild sausage if a less spicy flavor is desired.
  • Can be prepared a day ahead; refrigerate and bake just before serving.
