Ingredients
1 lb. bacon, diced
1 onion, chopped
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
1½ cups cottage cheese
1¼ cups Swiss cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon and onion until the bacon is very crisp.* Drain well.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, hash browns, Cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, and Swiss cheese.
- Stir in the bacon and onion mixture.
- Spread evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
Notes
- *Cook the bacon until very crisp. Soft bacon will release grease and make the casserole soggy.
- This casserole can be assembled the night before and refrigerated. Bake as directed in the morning, adding 5–10 minutes to the cooking time if needed.
