Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables & Aromatics

  • 2 cups diced Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Protein

  • 8 slices thick-cut bacon
  • 8 large eggs

Dairy

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup milk or cream

Seasonings & Herbs

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional: 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Prep the Potatoes and Bacon: Dice the potatoes into small, uniform cubes and parboil for 5-7 minutes until just tender. Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble or chop into bite-size pieces.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet used for the bacon, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant to build a flavorful base.
  3. Mix the Egg Base: Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth and slightly frothy for a light, tender casserole.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Add the cooked potatoes, bacon, sautéed onions and garlic, and shredded cheese into the egg mixture. Stir gently until evenly distributed.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spread evenly, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 35-45 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
  6. Let It Rest: Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to enhance flavor melding and ease slicing.

Notes

  • Use leftover bacon to enhance flavor and reduce waste.
  • Whisk eggs just until combined to avoid rubbery texture.
  • Pre-cook potatoes to ensure tender interior and crispy exterior.
  • Grease the baking pan well to prevent sticking and develop a nice crust.
  • Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing for clean portions.
