Ingredients

1 pound pork sausage, cooked

16 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup milk

Seasoned salt and pepper, to taste

1 onion, chopped

1 green bell pepper, diced

8 oz Mexican blend shredded cheese

1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese for sprinkling on top

2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13’’ pan with cooking spray.

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

3. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked sausage from the pan, and arrange it evenly in the bottom of the 9x13 pan.

4. Combine the eggs, sour cream, milk, cheese, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk until combined. Set aside.

5. Add two tablespoons of butter and the bell peppers and onion to the same skillet that the sausage was cooked in. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.

6. Add the vegetables to the bowl with the eggs and stir to combine.

7. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese.

8. Bake, uncovered, for 35-45 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is relatively firm, yet cooked through.
