- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining milk, and more salt and pepper if desired. Pour this over the sausage layer.
- Top with the remaining hashbrowns and sprinkle shredded cheese over everything.
Baking
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve hot.
