Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the slow cooker: Lightly coat the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Whisk the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. Add the onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes, whisking until fully incorporated. Set aside. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Layer the casserole: In the slow cooker, combine the hash browns, half of the mozzarella cheese, sausage, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil. Gently toss with your fingers to distribute evenly. Pour the egg mixture over the top, smoothing with a spatula if necessary. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Add the final toppings: Reserve about 2 ounces of the mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese, sausage, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil evenly over the top of the egg mixture. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Slow cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours, or until the center is cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 160°F (70°C). (6-8 hours)

06

Step

Finish and serve: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the casserole. Serve hot and enjoy! (2 minutes)

For best results, use a 6-quart slow cooker.
Feel free to substitute your favorite breakfast meats, cheeses, or vegetables.
If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use roasted red peppers for a similar flavor.
Ensure your sausage is fully cooked before adding it to the casserole.
