Preparation Steps

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring the perfect cooking temperature for a golden, crispy top.
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter to prevent any sticking.
Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until softened, then add minced garlic.
Layer thawed hashbrowns evenly in the greased baking dish, seasoning lightly.
Distribute the sausage and vegetable mixture over the top.
Whisk together the eggs, whole milk, and cream cheese until smooth; season.
Pour the egg mixture over the hashbrown layer, gently pressing down.
Top with cheddar cheese and bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes.
Cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs for an extra pop of flavor and color.
