Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream preferably full fat
  • ¼ cup milk preferably whole or 2%
  • 2 pounds ground sausage
  • ½ orange or red bell pepper seeded and diced
  • ½ yellow bell pepper seeded and diced
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of olive oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, and milk. Set aside.
  • Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
  • Add the pork to the egg mixture, reserving about 2 teaspoons of grease in the pan.
  • Add the bell peppers and green onion to the same pan (with the leftover pork grease) over medium-high heat. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper to the vegetables and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Add the vegetables to the egg mixture, along with the cheese and parsley. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
  • Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, until the edges of the casserole are golden and set and the center is still barely jiggly.
  • Cool the pan on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
