A quick and comforting breakfast casserole featuring crispy hashbrowns, fluffy eggs, and melty cheddar cheese, perfect for busy mornings or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 450 g) frozen shredded hashbrowns
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 cups (200 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter or cooking spray for greasing
  • Optional: 1 cup diced cooked bacon or sausage
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers or spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 8 eggs and 1 cup of milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste; whisk again to combine.
  5. Layer half of the frozen hashbrowns evenly in the baking dish, pressing lightly.
  6. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hashbrowns. If using, spread half of the cooked bacon or sausage evenly.
  7. Pour half of the egg mixture gently over the layered ingredients.
  8. Repeat the layers with the remaining hashbrowns, cheese, optional meat or veggies, and finish with the rest of the egg mixture.
  9. Cover the dish loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not thaw frozen hashbrowns before baking to avoid sogginess. Whisk eggs and milk until frothy for a lighter texture. Layer cheese between hashbrowns for even melting. Let casserole rest before slicing for best results. Can be prepared the night before and refrigerated. Tent with foil if cheese browns too quickly.
