Ingredients
– 1 pound diced sliced bacon
– 1 medium chopped sweet onion
– 6 large lightly beaten eggs (or 1 cup liquid egg substitute)
– 4 cups thawed frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
– 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 1/2 cups 4% cottage cheese
– 1 1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese
Instructions
1-Getting started with this Amish breakfast casserole: begins with preheating your oven to 350Β°F, which ensures even baking. First, cook the bacon and onion in a skillet over medium heat until the bacon turns crisp, then drain it well to remove excess grease. This step helps keep the casserole from becoming too soggy and sets the flavor base.
2-Next, in a large bowl, mix the eggs, hash browns, cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, Swiss cheese, and the cooked bacon mixture together until everything blends smoothly. Pour this into a greased 13Γ9-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake uncovered for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, signaling itβs done.
3-After baking, let the casserole rest for 10 minutes to firm up before cutting. This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare and bakes in that 35 to 40 minutes timeframe, making it perfect for a quick breakfast. For added variety, consider trying out similar dishes like the one in this summer squash corn chowder recipe for a twist on comfort food.
