Description

A hearty and delicious breakfast packed with protein-rich ingredients, crispy hash browns, and melty cheese.


Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and dried
  • 1 pound ground turkey sausage, cooked and drained
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup chopped green onions or chives
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray for greasing the pan


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground turkey sausage until it’s browned and crumbly. Make sure to drain any excess liquid.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  4. Add the thawed and dried hash browns, cooked turkey sausage, half of the shredded cheese, and chopped green onions to the egg mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Top with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into squares and serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize the flavor with different meats or cheeses. Allowing the dish to rest helps in easier slicing.
