Air Fryer Sausage Breakfast Casserole
Air Fryer Sausage Breakfast CasseroleI posted a quick picture of this meal on Instagram and immediately my sister was texting me for the recipe. She actually made it that evening and was amazed.
She also informed me that it fits the #Whole30 diet too. I’ve never actually done that, but she has, so I trust she’s correct. Have you tried the #Whole30?
If so, I’d love to hear your experience. I guess my biggest question mark for that particular plan is that once you are done, most of those I know that do this plan, immediately go back to their old ways of eating.
So I don’t quite understand it for the long term benefits? I do hear it’s good to see which foods you may be intolerant to.
Something to consider for sure.
In the meantime, let’s get to this Air Fryer Sausage Breakfast Casserole.

Will this work with my own organic, shredded potatoes? I don’t like the added “stuff” in frozen, processed hash browns.
It should but just make sure that you really drain out any liquid. Sometimes they can have lots of water in the fresh produce.
I’ve done whole 30 a few times as long as the breakfast sausage is compliant it’s a great whole 30 breakfast. I’ll make it tomorrow!!
I’m glad to hear that! I keep telling myself I’m going to do it and have the book sitting on my coffee table, but I haven’t yet. I HAVE to do it. I have heard so many great things about it!
How well does this reheat? One casserole is too much for one meal for us. The yolks look so good in this and I am afraid they would go hard on reheating.
We enjoyed ours reheated, it may vary depending on personal preference but we didn’t have any issue with it.
Maybe you could add only as many eggs as you plan to serve the first time, then put in fresh eggs when you reheat? Do you think that would work?
I think that would work!
How do you put uncooked sausage over the hash browns without getting it super greasy?
I never had any issues with it being greasy, I typically try to find a lean sausage; however, if you are concerned with that, you can precook the sausage. I think when you make the potatoes soak in some of it.
I made this and it is amazing! I definitely recommend making this! So simple and easy!
Yay! So glad you enjoyed it, it’s one of our faves!
It did not turn out well with the uncooked hash browns. I used turkey sausage for leanness and the hash browns were soggy and uncooked. I used frozen peppers like I usually do in a breakfast casserole in the oven. The sausage was more clumpy than when used in breakfast casserole in oven. I think next time, I’ll cook the hash browns first then the uncooked sausage or eliminate the hash browns all together.
When you made it were the hashbrowns defrosted? If not I wonder if the moisture from the ice of them may have made it soggy. Just curious, I’ve never had any issues but if they weren’t defrosted, I’ll note that in the recipe as well.
So is refrigerated hash browns recommended? I prefer crispier hash browns so could i cook it longer prior to adding the eggs? Instead of sausage do you think chorizo will work? Thank you.
Yes, I’d go with refrigerated hashbrowns, you can try to cook it longer first. I’d just check in on it to be sure it doesn’t overcook. I do believe the chorizo would work similarly; however, I haven’t made it with it but I think it would work.
I am wondering if you can use scrambled eggs?
I haven’t before but I do think that would work fine.
I’m trying this tomorrow morning. Should I thaw the frozen hash browns overnight?
I put mine in frozen.
You should add that as a tip to the recipe.
If I wanted to add cheese, when & where? I’m thinking on the top when you add the eggs.
I would add cheese within the last 3-4 minutes of cooking time.
This recipe turned out amazing. I defrosted the hashbrowns before cooking and everything worked out great. I like making this recipe better in the air fryer than in the instant pot.
