                                          • Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
                                          • Preheat oven to 375 °F.
                                          • Spray a steam table pan with nonstick cooking spray.
                                            For 25 servings, use a half pan (10⅜" x 12¾" x 2½").
                                            For 50 servings, use 1 full pan (12" x 20" x 2½").
                                          • In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, and cheese. Whisk to mix. Set aside. Wash hands after touching uncooked eggs.
                                          • In a large bowl, combine bell peppers, thawed potatoes, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix and set aside.
                                          • Heat a medium skillet on medium-high heat. Add Italian sausage. Crumble with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Heat to 165 °F for at least 15 seconds. Drain grease and discard.

                                          • Add egg mixture. Stir to mix.
                                          • Cook for 45–50 minutes. Heat to 165 °F for at least 15 seconds.
                                          • Cut into pieces.
                                            For 25 servings, cut pan into 25 even pieces.
                                            For 50 servings, cut each pan into 25 even pieces.
                                          • Serve 1 piece. Serve immediately, or keep warm at 140 °F or higher.
