Ingredients
- 1 pound breakfast sausages, casing removed
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 2 bell peppers (any colour) diced
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 15 ounces frozen hash browns (optional)
- 1/2 cup chunky salsa *see notes
- 5 soft taco size whole wheat or regular flour tortillas cut into 1 inch squares
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 1 teaspoon each salt and ground black pepper
Optional for Serving
- Sliced avocado
- Salsa
- Chopped cilantro
- Sliced green onion
- Sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Spray a deep sided 13"x9" baking dish with non stick cooking spray.
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the sausage, onions, and peppers. Season with a pinch of salt. Cook, breaking up sausage, until sausage is cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Drain well.
- In a large bowl, whisk the Greek yogurt and milk. Add the eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, whisk vigorously to blend eggs.
- Layer the casserole: Place the hashbrowns in the bottom of the prepared dish (if using), followed by half of the sausage mixture, 1 heaping cup of cheese, the salsa, and half of the eggs. Spread the tortilla pieces evenly on the casserole and press firmly. Add remaining sausage, eggs, and cheese.
- Bake covered tightly with foil 35 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the casserole is cooked through and egg in the center of casserole is set. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before garnishing with green onion, and serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- *To keep the casserole from getting soggy, scoop the salsa with a slotted spoon before measuring.
- You can add any veggies or filling you like, such as mushrooms, fresh spinach, or some crumbled cooked bacon.
- To make this casserole low carb, simply leave the tortillas and hash browns out.
- Use any breakfast sausage you like. Chicken or turkey would work too.
- Hash browns can be added into the casserole frozen or thawed. It’s best to use frozen, since the refrigerated ones contain a lot of preservatives to keep the potatoes from turning brown in the bag.
