A quick and easy gluten-free breakfast casserole featuring crispy hash browns, savory sausage, and melted cheddar cheese, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 oz (680 g) frozen shredded hash browns, thawed
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground breakfast sausage (gluten-free)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk preferred, almond milk optional)
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese (sharp or mild)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Thaw the frozen hash browns completely, then press out any excess moisture using paper towels.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground sausage and chopped onion, breaking the sausage apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 7-9 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  5. Add the drained hash browns, cooked sausage and onions, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly, making sure everything is evenly distributed.
  6. Lightly grease your 9×13-inch baking dish, then pour in the mixture. Spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheddar on top.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and crispy and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and freshness.

Notes

Thaw and squeeze out moisture from hash browns to ensure crispiness. Brown sausage slowly to develop flavor and drain excess fat to avoid greasiness. Use room temperature eggs and milk to prevent curdling. Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to restore crispiness. Variations include vegetarian, dairy-free, spicy, and fresh potato options.
