2. Brown Sausage:
   In a 10-inch cast iron skillet, brown sausage until crumbly and medium brown in color. Stir occasionally to ensure even browning.

3. Prepare Ingredients:
   While sausage is browning, peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Chop onions and mince garlic.

4. Cook Potatoes:
   After browning the sausage, remove it from the pan using a slotted spoon. Add potatoes to the pan and carefully brown them in the sausage fat. Once browned, remove potatoes and add them to the reserved sausage.

5. Saute Onions and Garlic:
   Add butter to the pan (if required). Once melted, add onions and cook until slightly brown and soft. Then, add minced garlic and cook until aromatic.

6. Prepare Egg Mixture:
   While onions are browning, lightly whisk eggs, half-and-half, and sugar until slightly foamy.

7. Combine Ingredients:
   Return potatoes and sausage to the pan, mixing well with onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Add Egg Mixture:
   Pour the prepared egg mixture over the sausage, potato, and onion mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle half of the cheese on top and mix gently. Then, sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.

9. Bake:
   Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, lower the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 10-20 minutes, depending on your preference for egg doneness. Keep an eye on the skillet to prevent the cheese from getting too brown. If needed, cover with buttered aluminum foil.

10. Serve:
    Once cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the oven. Serve hot with your favorite hot sauce and toasted bread.

Variations:

• Add Vegetables:
  Enhance the dish by adding mushrooms, green pepper, or red pepper. Simply sauté them with the onions for added flavor and nutrition.

• Spice it Up:
  For a kick of heat, season the egg mixture with hot sauce. You can also replace the half-and-half with yogurt for a tangy twist.

• Cheese Options:
  Experiment with different cheese combinations. Provolone and Parmesan mixed into the eggs add a sophisticated flavor, while cheddar sprinkled on top provides a classic, gooey finish.
