- 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
Instructions
- 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.
Notes
- 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.
