(Healthier) Breakfast Casserole: INGREDIENTS: • 1 lb loose breakfast sausage • 1 small white onion, diced • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 (26 oz) bag frozen shredded hash browns • 4 large eggs • 3/4 cup egg beaters • 1 cup cottage cheese blended until smooth • ½ cup Fairlife milk • 1 tsp garlic powder • 1 tsp kosher salt • ½ tsp paprika • ½ tsp ground white pepper • Pinch of ground sage • 2 cups shredded fat free cheddar cheese • ¼ cup chopped fresh chives for garnish • Nonstick cooking spray DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 375°F and grease a 9x13 baking dish. Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Remove the sausage and set aside. Add the onion and olive oil to the skillet and cook until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the frozen hash browns and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir the sausage back in and remove from heat. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, garlic powder, salt, paprika, white pepper and sage. Stir in the shredded cheddar. Add the sausage + hash brown mixture and stir everything together. Pour into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. If the top starts getting too brown, loosely cover with foil. Sprinkle with fresh chives and serve! Makes about 12 servings.
