- ½ pound breakfast sausage
- 2 large potatoes, cut into ½-inch cubes
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 large eggs
- 1¼ cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Salsa and sour cream, for serving, optional
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or large oven-safe skillet.
- Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Once browned and cooked through, remove the sausage and drain off most of the grease.
- Add the diced potatoes, onion, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for about 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are beginning to soften and turn golden. Add the garlic and cook for another 30–60 seconds.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cheese, cooked sausage, potatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or oven-safe skillet.
- Bake for 35–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is set. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Let stand for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve with salsa, sour cream, or your favorite breakfast toppings.
