Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather your ingredients for the casserole.
  2. Dice the Yukon Gold potatoes, red bell pepper, and onion into ½-inch cubes. Soak the potatoes in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain and dry thoroughly.
  3. In a large skillet, cook the crumbled pork breakfast sausage over medium-high heat for about 6-7 minutes until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  4. In the same skillet, add melted butter and sauté the potatoes, bell pepper, and onion for about 8 minutes until tender and lightly golden.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, whole milk, sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and half of the cheddar cheese. Stir in maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until smooth.
  6. Grease a 9-x-13-inch baking dish. Layer sautéed vegetables and cooked sausage at the bottom, then pour the egg mixture on top. Sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese and thyme.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the center is set and top is golden brown. Let it rest for 5-7 minutes before slicing.
