How To Make breakfast casserole
-
Step 1Preheat oven at 375º and generously grease a 3-quart dish; set aside.
-
Step 2Using either a box grater or a food processor, shred the potatoes. Drop them on a clean dish towel, gather the corners, hold the top tightly and squeeze it firmly to remove the excess moisture.
-
Step 3Transfer the shredded potatoes to a microwave-safe bowl and cover tightly with cling film.
-
Step 4Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Remove the bowl from the microwave, lift the plastic wrap, stir very well and return the bowl back to the microwave for another 2 minutes. Repeat these steps until they’ve been cooked for a total time of 8 minutes.
-
Step 5Meanwhile, add milk to eggs as well as Italian seasoning, rosemary, salt and black pepper. Beat the ingredients very well and set aside.
-
Step 6After being cooked for 8 minutes, stir the potatoes, cover again with the cling film so they don’t dry out and let it sit while we start cooking the other ingredients.
-
Step 7In a large skillet over medium heat, add hot Italian sausage and cook until brown, about 7 to 8 minutes, breaking the meat into small pieces. Transfer it to a bowl using a slotted spoon and set aside.
-
Step 8To the skillet, add red peppers and green peppers; sauté for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
-
Step 9Add mushrooms, stir and season with salt and black pepper; cook for 5 minutes. To this, add pressed garlic and sauté for only one minute.
-
Step 10Remove from the heat and transfer the veggies to the meat. Add the shredded potatoes and stir to combine. Add 2 cups of cheese and give a good stir before adding the egg mixture; stir to coat.
-
Step 11Spoon the mixture into the prepared 3-quart baking dish and level it out with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Cheddar cheese evenly on top as well as sweet paprika.
-
Step 12Cover tightly with foil and at this point, the dish can be stored in the fridge for the next morning or transferred to the preheated oven.
-
Step 13Bake for 30 minutes. When the half an hour is up, uncover and return the dish for another 15 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Step 14Remove from the heat and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.
