Description

A hearty breakfast casserole made with eggs, potatoes, vegetables, and cheese. Perfect for meal prep, brunch, or feeding a crowd, this dish is customizable, filling, and always golden and delicious.


Ingredients

4 cups frozen hash browns or diced potatoes

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced

2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped

8 large eggs

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup cooked chicken sausage (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat.
  3. Spread hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. Layer cooked vegetables and chicken sausage (if using) over the potatoes.
  5. In a bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over potatoes and vegetables.
  6. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake 40–45 minutes, until set in the center and golden brown on top.
  8. Cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make vegetarian by skipping meat or using plant-based sausage.

Swap cheeses—try mozzarella, Swiss, or feta for variety.

Add extra vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini, or tomatoes.

Make spicier with jalapeños, chili flakes, or hot sauce.

Halve recipe for smaller portions using an 8×8-inch dish.
