Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the breakfast sausage, crumbling it as it cooks for about 7–10 minutes until fully browned. Drain any excess grease.
  3. While the sausage is warm, add chunks of cream cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and mixed with the sausage.
  4. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Spread thawed hashbrowns in an even layer and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread the sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the hashbrowns and sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the layers in the baking dish.
  7. Top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake uncovered for 45–50 minutes, or until set in the center and golden brown.
  9. Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.
