Preheat oven to 350˚F.
In a 12-inch ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sausage; cook until browned and crumbly, about 6 minutes. Remove sausage using a slotted spoon, and let drain on paper towels.
In same skillet, cook onion, bell pepper, and garlic over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Remove vegetables from skillet. Wipe skillet clean, and spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir in sausage, vegetables, hash browns, mozzarella, half of Cheddar, chives, salt, and black pepper. Pour mixture into skillet; sprinkle with remaining Cheddar.
Bake until golden brown and a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
