Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned and crumbled, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the hashbrowns to the skillet, pressing them down into an even layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown on the bottom.
- Using a spatula, create a well in the center of the hashbrowns. Add the cooked sausage into the well and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!
Tips
- For added flavor, consider mixing in some chopped bell peppers or jalapeños with the sausage.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, use spicy sausage or add a dash of hot sauce to the sausage mixture.
- For a vegetarian version, substitute the sausage with crumbled tofu or a plant-based sausage.
