Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 -8 large potatoes (russet)
1/2 lb bacon
8 hard-boiled eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Peel and slice the potatoes about 1/2 inch thick, then cook in salted water just until tender (do not overcook). Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking.
  • Cut half a pound of your favorite bacon cut into 2 inch pieces setting aside about 3 uncooked slices for top. In a frying pan, cook the balance of the bacon pieces until it just starts to crisp.
  • Slice the boiled eggs width wise about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Using a deep casserole dish, layer 1/3 of the potatoes, 1/3 of the egg slices, and 1/2 of the cooked bacon. Repeat the layer. For the final layer, add the remaining potatoes, eggs and the raw pieces of bacon on top. I like to pour the bacon fat remaining in the frying pan over the whole dish.
  • Bake uncovered in the oven for approximately 35 minutes, or until the bacon on the top is crisp. Enjoy.

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.
