Baked Goods, Breakfast, Pork

Ingredients

1 pound pkg. sage ground pork sausage

1 pound pkg. hot ground pork sausage

1 (30-oz.) pkg. frozen shredded hash browns

2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided

1 teaspoon black pepper, divided

6 ounces sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups), divided

6 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup whole milk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 13- x 9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Cook both ground sausages, stirring often, until they are crumbled and browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; drain well on paper towels.

Working in batches, cook the hash browns in a large nonstick skillet according to package directions; omit salt if called for on package. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.

Stir together the sausage, hash browns, and 1 cup of the cheese in a bowl. Spoon into a prepared baking dish.

Whisk together eggs, milk, and remaining salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour over the sausage mixture.

Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in preheated oven until set, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley and chives.
