  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes with herbs, drained and julienned
  • 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 large eggs

Directions

Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2 -Coat a 7x11-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 3 -In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the Italian sausage and cook, while crumbling, until it is no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain the excess grease.

Step 4 -In a large bowl, add the hash browns and the cheddar cheese and stir to combine.

Step 5 -Layer 1/2 of the hash brown-cheddar mixture, 1/2 of the cooked sausage, 1/2 of the spinach, and 1/2 of the sun-dried tomatoes in the prepared baking dish. Repeat the layers once.

Step 6 -Evenly sprinkle the mozzarella over the sun-dried tomato layer.

Step 7 -In a medium bowl, add the eggs, the milk, the salt, and the black pepper and whisk to combine.

Step 8 -Evenly pour the egg mixture over the mozzarella layer.

Step 9 -Cover the baking dish and bake the sausage bake, about 35 minutes.

Step 10 -Evenly sprinkle the sausage bake with the parmesan cheese and bake, uncovered, until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes.

Step 11 -Transfer the baking dish to a wire rack and let the sausage bake stand, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 12 -Serve.
