Equipment

  • 9x13 rectangular casserole dish

Ingredients

  • 12 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup milk, any percentage
  • 2 large russet potatoes, shredded
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 broccoli head, finely chopped
  • 1 12 oz package breakfast sausage links
  • 3 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 2 tsp Lawry's seasoning, plus a little to sprinkle on top
  • 1 tsp black pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 stalks scallions, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400° and lightly grease your casserole dish.
  • Beat eggs, milk, Lawry's, and pepper in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • Chop zucchini, bell pepper, and broccoli into small pieces. Set in a large bowl.
  • Shred the potatoes with a cheese grater. Add to the large bowl.
  • Shred the cheese in the grater. Add to the large bowl.
  • Carefully cut the breakfast sausage links horizontally across so you're left with bite size pieces of uncooked sausage. Add to the large bowl, then toss the contents.
  • Spread the contents of the large bowl into the casserole dish, then pour the eggs over the top until the casserole fillings are covered. Make sure there is at least 1/2 inch space between the egg line and the top edge of the dish.
  • Place dish in preheated oven and bake between 60-90 minutes. Take it out at 60 minutes to test the middle by sliding a non-serrated knife into the middle. The knife will come out cleanly when the dish is cooked!

  1. I like to chop the broccoli very finely so it's almost shredded but leave the other produce in slightly large pieces.
  2. When baking something full of liquid, I always place a baking sheet on the rack below just in case it overflows.
  3. If the egg mixture doesn't cover the casserole fillings enough for your dish, beat together another 2-3 eggs at a time and pour it over the top until it does.
  4. Adding the raw sausage ensures it doesn't become dry and overcooked during the baking process.
