Cook the sausage in a skillet with a little olive oil until browned and crumbled into small pieces.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Add a little more oil to the skillet and cook chopped red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion until softened, about a few minutes.

Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

In a large bowl, crack 12 eggs and whisk them together with salt and black pepper.

Assemble the casserole by starting with shredded hash browns, then add the cooked sausage, cherry tomatoes, and the sautéed vegetables.

Add half of the pound of cheddar cheese to the mixture and combine well, adding more salt and pepper to taste.

Spray a foil-lined pan with cooking spray and transfer the mixture into the pan.

Bake uncovered in the oven for 40 minutes, checking for doneness and adding 5-10 more minutes if necessary.

Once cooked, top the casserole with the remaining cheddar cheese and return it to the oven until the cheese melts.

Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley.
