Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while pork sausage can be more affordable.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: white bread

Start by cracking 4 eggs into a bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of milk to the eggs and whisk together.

Add 2 cups of frozen hash browns (Potatoes O'Brien) to the mixture.

Chop leftover sausage patties and add to the bowl. You can also use bacon, ham, or leave out the meat for veggies.

Mix the ingredients together.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the mixture.

Optionally, add a little hot sauce.

Spray the cake pan that came with the air fryer with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.

Set the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and cook for 20 minutes.

Check the casserole after 20 minutes; if the eggs are not fully cooked, add an additional 7 minutes for a total of 27 minutes.

Insert a knife into the middle of the casserole; if it comes out clean, the casserole is ready.
