- 6 xl eggs 8, if they're on the smaller side
- 1 20 oz bag o'brien style potatoes
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese small curd
- 1 lb ground pork breakfast sausage
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt & pepper to taste
In a large skillet over medium high heat, brown the sausage. Crumble as it cooks, stirring often.
Strain the sausage to get rid of excess grease. Set the sausage aside.
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl, and whisk them together until smooth.
To the bowl, add the potatoes, sausage, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper and gently stir everything together to evenly combine.
Lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish with non stick cooking spray. Pour the egg mixture in, and spread it out evenly into the dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese evenly out over top of the casserole.
Bake the dish at 350° for 45 minutes. Remove it from the oven, and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing & serving.
- Use 2 extra eggs if you don't have extra large eggs.
- If you can't find O'brien potatoes, use shredded potatoes and add half a chopped white onion and half a chopped green bell pepper to them.
- Feel free to substitute other kinds of ground sausage for the pork breakfast sausage.
