1

Spray 4-quart slow cooker with cooking spray.
2

In medium bowl, beat eggs, half-and-half, Dijon mustard, salt, thyme and pepper with whisk. In slow cooker, mix hash browns, sausage, bell pepper, green onion whites, 1 1/2 cups of the cheese and egg mixture; stir to combine. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 2 hours; carefully remove slow cooker's ceramic insert, and rotate insert 180 degrees. Cook 1 1/2 to 2 hours longer or until temperature reaches 160°F in center and egg mixture is set.
3

Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese and green onion greens over top; let stand uncovered 10 minutes. Serve topped with chopped apple.

Expert Tips

Cooked chicken apple sausage links can be substituted in this recipe for the patties. Just slice or chop into bite-size pieces.
Rotating the ceramic insert halfway through cooking will result in evenly cooked eggs.
A fully cooked (160°F in center) casserole may still have some moisture present on the surface, which will absorb as it rests.
