Description
This Potato Egg Bake is a delectable breakfast casserole combining crispy hash browns, savory bacon, and melted cheddar cheese with a creamy egg mixture. Perfect for a weekend brunch or a make-ahead meal, this recipe is as easy as it is delicious.
Ingredients
- Butter or Margarine: 1/2 cup
- Onion: 1 cup, finely chopped
- Frozen Hash Browns: 2 cups
- Eggs: 12 large
- Milk: 1/2 cup
- Salt: 3/4 teaspoon
- Pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- Cheddar Cheese: 2 cups, shredded
- Bacon: 6 strips
Directions
-
Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook the bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain on paper towels and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
-
Sauté the Onions and Hash Browns:
- Melt the butter or margarine in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the frozen hash browns to the skillet. Cook and stir occasionally until the hash browns are lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Assemble the Casserole:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Spread the cooked hash browns evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper for 1-2 minutes until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
-
Bake the Casserole:
- Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns in the baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the Potato Egg Bake to cool slightly before cutting into squares. Serve warm and enjoy!
