Instructions
1. Preheat and Prepare the Dish:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a quiche pan or pie dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook the Sausage:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the sausage until browned, breaking it into crumbles.
- Drain excess grease and set the sausage aside.
3. Sauté the Hashbrowns:
- In the same skillet, cook the thawed hashbrowns for 2–3 minutes until heated through.

- Stir gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Assemble the Frittata:
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
- Use a fork to arrange the ingredients evenly for a uniform presentation.
- Sprinkle additional cheese over the top for a golden, melty finish.
6. Bake the Frittata:
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 22–26 minutes.
- Check for doneness by ensuring the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
7. Rest and Serve:
- Let the frittata rest for 10 minutes to allow it to firm up before slicing.
- Serve warm and enjoy with your favorite sides.
