Ingredients
For the Crust
- 6-8 Frozen Hash Brown Patties defrosted
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
Filling
- 1/2 pound ground breakfast sausage
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- fresh chives chopped, optional for garnish
- cooked bacon crumbled, optional for garnish
Instructions
Crust
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Defrost the hash brown patties and press them into a 9-inch pie dish to form an even crust.
- Brush the crust with melted butter and bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it starts to turn golden brown and crisp. Remove the crust from the oven and set aside.
Filling
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the sausage, onion, peppers, and garlic until the sausage is browned and fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Sprinkle the flour over the sausage mixture and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Evenly spread the sausage mixture into the prepared hash brown pie crust, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the sausage mixture.
- Pour in the egg mixture over the sausage and cheese, making sure it fills all the gaps.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean. Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes.
- Once cooled, garnish the pie with chives and crumbled bacon if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure the hash brown patties are fully defrosted before pressing them into the pie dish to ensure they form a solid crust.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses such as Gruyère, Swiss, or mozzarella for a unique flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Adjust the seasoning to your preference. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for some extra flavor.
