Description

A hearty breakfast casserole blending savory halal sausage, fluffy eggs, melty cheddar cheese, and tender hash browns or bread. Perfect for family breakfasts, weekend brunches, or make-ahead meals, this comforting dish balances rich textures with nostalgic flavors.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups frozen hash browns or 4 stale bread slices, cubed
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup whole milk or 2% milk
1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 pound halal breakfast sausage (chicken or turkey), casing removed
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Place hash browns or bread cubes in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish
Cook halal sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5 minutes
Add chopped onion to the sausage mixture and cook until tender, about 3 minutes
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth
Add half of the cheddar cheese to the egg mixture and stir until melted
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hash browns or bread in the baking dish
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top
Bake for 40-45 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly and set
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving

Notes

Use halal sausage (chicken or turkey) as a pork-free alternative
If using cubed bread, choose slightly stale bread for the best texture
For more flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or herbs to the egg mixture
Allow leftovers to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
Can be frozen for up to 1 month; reheat in oven for best results
