Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup frozen hashbrowns
- ½ cup sautéed veggies (bell pepper, onion, mushroom)
- 2–3 chicken sausage links
- 3 eggs
- 2 tbsp Good Culture cottage cheese
- 1.5 slices Trader Joe’s lite mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Cook the chicken sausage for about 9 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Once they’re done, cut them into three equal pieces.
- Add the bell pepper, onion, and mushroom in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté until they are softened and fragrant.
- Combine the cooked chicken sausage, sautéed veggies, and frozen hashbrowns in a large mixing bowl. Mix everything well to ensure even distribution.
- Whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese in a separate bowl until you have a smooth mixture. Pour this egg mixture over the veggie and sausage blend, gently folding in the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Spread the entire mixture into a greased baking dish and bake at 375°F for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
