Description
A heartwarming casserole combining crispy hashbrowns, fluffy eggs, and creamy cheese—perfect for gathering around the breakfast table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups frozen hashbrowns
- 8–10 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheese (sharp cheddar preferred)
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Fresh herbs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onions (and bell peppers if using) and cook until soft, about 5-7 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns with the sautéed mixture. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Pour this mixture over the hashbrowns and stir to coat evenly.

- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top is golden and the inside is set.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
