A quick and easy sheet pan breakfast bake combining crispy hash browns, savory sausage, and gently baked eggs, perfect for busy mornings or casual brunches.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 11 oz / 320g) frozen shredded hash browns
  • 8 to 10 breakfast sausage links or patties (mild pork sausage recommended)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (about 4 oz / 100g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons (1 fl oz / 30ml) olive oil or melted butter
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet (about 18×13 inches) with parchment paper or spray generously with nonstick spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the frozen shredded hash browns with olive oil or melted butter, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the hash browns evenly on the prepared sheet pan, pressing down gently to compact slightly.
  5. Arrange the sausage links or patties evenly over the hash browns. Slice links in half if desired.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes to partially cook the sausage and start crisping the hash browns.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully crack the eggs evenly spaced over the hash browns and sausage.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the entire pan.
  9. Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes until eggs are set to your liking and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Check for doneness: edges of hash browns should be golden and crispy, sausage cooked through, and eggs gently puffed. Optionally broil for 1-2 minutes for extra crispness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  11. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired. Slice into squares or scoop portions onto plates and serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to keep hash browns crispy. Flipping hash browns halfway through initial bake can improve even browning but is optional. Broil 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispness but watch carefully to prevent burning. For vegetarian version, swap sausage for plant-based sausage or add sautéed vegetables. For gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients. Reheat leftovers in oven or toaster oven to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
