Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 4 medium potatoes
- 6 slices of bacon
Dairy and Cheese:
- 1 cup of shredded cheese
- 1 cup of milk
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- ½ teaspoon of pepper
- ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
Instructions
- Fire up your oven to a steady 350°F (175°C) and grab a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Sizzle 6 bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until they turn crispy and golden, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel and crumble into bite-sized pieces.
- In the same skillet with bacon drippings, toss 4 diced medium potatoes. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until they become tender and slightly golden.
- Grab a mixing bowl and whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon pepper, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder until smooth and well combined.
- Spread a thin layer of cooking spray across your baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Create your first layer with the cooked potatoes, covering the bottom of the dish evenly.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon across the potato layer, ensuring even distribution.
- Scatter 1 cup of shredded cheese over the bacon and potato layers.
- Carefully pour the egg mixture across the entire casserole, making sure it seeps between the layers.
- Slide the dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the eggs set and the top turns a light golden brown.
Notes
- Crisp the bacon thoroughly for maximum flavor and crunch throughout the casserole.
- Dice potatoes into uniform small cubes so they cook evenly and create a consistent texture.
- For a lighter version, substitute turkey bacon and use low-fat cheese to reduce overall calories.
- Prep ingredients ahead of time to make assembly quick and streamline your morning cooking routine.
