120 ml milk

# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add breakfast sausage and cook until thoroughly browned and crumbled, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat as needed.
02 -
Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 23x33 cm baking dish. Arrange frozen potato puffs evenly over the base of the dish.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and, if using, crushed red pepper flakes, until well combined.
04 -
Scatter cooked sausage evenly over the potato puffs. Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients. Distribute shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses uniformly across the surface.
05 -
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30–40 minutes, until eggs are fully set and cheese is melted and golden. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the dish is properly cooked.
06 -
Remove from oven and allow to rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired. Serve hot.

Allow the casserole to rest for several minutes before serving to ensure cleaner portions.
