Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

Place potatoes and 1/4 cup water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and place into microwave for 4-5 minutes, or until tender; drain well and set aside.

In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and hot sauce; season with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat. Stir in bell peppers and potatoes until tender, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese until well combined.

Place sausage mixture evenly into the baking dish. Pour egg mixture evenly over the top and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.*

Place into oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are firm.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
