Preheat oven to 350ºF and lightly grease an 8x11 oven-safe casserole dish or baking pan with cooking spray.

Heat breakfast sausage over medium heat in a skillet and use a spatula to break up into small pieces. Brown for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Add bell pepper and green onion and cook 3 minutes longer. It's okay if the sausage isn't cooked completely.

Drain grease from the pan. Set pan aside to cool sausage for 5 minutes.

Whisk eggs, milk, sea salt, and black pepper together in a medium mixing bowl.

Stir in ½ cup of shredded cheese and sausage/vegetable mixture. Pour into pan and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the center is cooked.

Cool at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing into 6 servings.
