Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (30 oz / 850g) package frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 8 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- Optional: chopped green onions or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer the hashbrowns: Spread the thawed hashbrowns evenly into the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes to crisp them up slightly.
- Mix the egg mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the casserole: Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese over the baked hashbrowns. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the top, ensuring it seeps through the hashbrowns. Top with crumbled bacon and the remaining cheese.
- Bake: Bake the casserole for 35–40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped green onions or parsley if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to customize with add-ins like sautéed bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach.
- Substitute bacon with cooked sausage or diced ham for a different twist.
- This casserole can be made ahead! Prepare the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Bake fresh in the morning.
