Breakfast Casserole Recipe
A hearty and satisfying breakfast dish that's perfect for busy mornings and family gatherings. This casserole combines sausage, cheeses, and eggs for a rich flavor profile while being easy to prepare ahead of time.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground breakfast sausage
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 4 cups Shredded hash browns, completely thawed
- 6 large Eggs, lightly beaten
- 16 oz Cottage cheese
- 2 cups Shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Colby Jack or cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Set the dish aside for later use.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground breakfast sausage, finely chopped onion, and kosher salt. Cook the mixture while crumbling the sausage until it is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease before proceeding.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage mixture with the thawed shredded hash browns, lightly beaten eggs, cottage cheese, and both shredded cheeses. Stir the mixture until it is well combined.
- Spread the combined mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the center sets.
- Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to firm up slightly for easier slicing. Enjoy your hearty breakfast!
Notes
- Prepping ahead can save time.
- For crispier hash browns, sauté them with a little oil before mixing.
- You can experiment with cheese variations.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
