Ingredients
- 1 lb ground pork sausage
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground pork sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary and set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well combined.
- Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese and half of the mozzarella cheese over the sausage.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sausage and cheese in the baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. If the top isn’t browned enough, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped chives if desired and serve warm.
Notes
Pro Tips: Use full-fat cheese for the best texture and flavor. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking to make slicing easier. For extra crispiness, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end. Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm. Variations: Add diced bell peppers, spinach, or mushrooms for extra veggies. Swap sausage for bacon or ham if preferred.
