Equipment
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 pound bacon diced
- 1 pound breakfast sausage crumbled
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 3 cups hash brown potatoes shredded
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 cups Swiss cheese shredded
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook 1 pound of diced bacon until crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In the same skillet, add 1 pound of crumbled breakfast sausage and 1 finely chopped medium onion. Cook them together over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the onion is softened, about 7-8 minutes. Remove the sausage and onion with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 12 eggs with salt and pepper until well beaten.
- Add the shredded hash brown potatoes, cheddar cheese, Swiss cheese, cottage cheese, cooked bacon, sausage, and sautéed onions to the beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
