BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE



Bacon, Egg and Cheese Breakfast Casserole image

Falling somewhere between a frittata and a tortilla española, this breakfast casserole has everything you love about a classic bacon, egg and cheese sandwich: smoky bacon, perfectly set eggs, sharp Cheddar and, if you want (and you definitely do), tangy hot sauce. Thinly sliced potatoes are added for structure and heft, and cooking them will be the most time-consuming part of this whole dish. The great news is that it's as delicious (if not more so) the next day, rewarmed or not. If you like, you can bake the casserole the night before and refrigerate, covered, when cool. To reheat, cover with foil and place in a 325-degree oven until warmed through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 pound thick-cut bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, sliced 1/4-inch thick or cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
10 large eggs
6 ounces shredded sharp Cheddar or Monterey Jack
Hot sauce (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and the fat has rendered out, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove from skillet, leaving fat behind.
  • Add olive oil, potatoes and onion slices to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and start to brown, and the onions are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Return bacon to skillet and stir to combine so that everything is distributed evenly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs together and season with salt and pepper. Add cheese and whisk to blend. Transfer potato mixture to a 1 1/2- to 2-quart baking dish (any shape will work) and pour egg mixture over. Place in oven and bake until eggs are puffed around the edges and just set in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before eating. Serve with hot sauce if you like.

Provided by kitchen_mom

Categories     Breakfast

Time 26m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup milk
3 eggs
1/2-1 lb bacon (or sausage)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425.
  • Start frying bacon or sausage.
  • Combine first 5 ingredients, then cut in butter.
  • Make a well in the center and pour in milk. Stir until well combined and moist.
  • Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead until dough holds together well and is pliable. Press into bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.
  • Beat the eggs with a splash of milk and pour over biscuit crust.
  • Sprinkle crumbled bacon or sausage over the egg mixture and top with cheese.
  • Bake for 16 - 20 minutes, or until egg is cooked through.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh eggs, crispy bacon, and sharp cheese will make all the difference in the flavor of your casserole.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs should be cooked through, but still slightly soft and fluffy. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a good quality bread: A sturdy bread, such as French bread or sourdough, will hold up well in the casserole. Avoid using a soft bread, such as white bread, as it will become soggy.
  • Season the casserole well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all essential seasonings for this casserole. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as paprika, cayenne pepper, or onion powder, to taste.
  • Bake the casserole until it is golden brown: The casserole is done baking when the top is golden brown and the eggs are set. Insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole; if it comes out clean, the casserole is done.

Conclusion:

This bacon, egg, and cheese casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It is perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time and reheated. With its crispy bacon, fluffy eggs, and melted cheese, this casserole is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Enjoy!
