A warm and filling Amish breakfast casserole featuring crispy hash browns, savory sausage, and a creamy custard egg mixture, perfect for busy mornings or feeding a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns (about 400 g)
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage (about 450 g)
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups milk (whole or 2%) (360 ml)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (about 200 g)
  • 1 small diced onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-9 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the cooked sausage. Cook another 3-4 minutes until onions soften and become translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and dried parsley until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  5. Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the bottom of the greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  6. Sprinkle the cooked sausage mixture evenly over the hash browns, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the layers, making sure it’s evenly distributed.
  8. Place the casserole in the oven and bake uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the egg mixture is fully set. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes after baking to firm up before serving.

Notes

If edges brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking. Let casserole rest 10 minutes before serving for best texture. Use frozen hash browns without seasoning for best control. Drain excess fat from sausage to avoid greasiness. Can swap sausage for ham or turkey sausage for leaner option. For dairy-free, use almond milk and plant-based cheese. Add fresh chives or green onions after baking for freshness.
