This delicious and satisfying Breakfast Casserole is a meal in and of itself. But, you can also serve it up with slices of Avocado, Cottage Cottage, Tomatoes. More suggestions in the Optional comments.
1/2 of a 2.4 oz carton Hash browns, (Or 1- 1.2oz ) Reconstituted… Makes about 1 1/2 cups packed.
8-10 Beaten Jumbo Eggs . (12 regular large)
1 1/2 c Cheese grated. (I use cojack)
1 c Heavy whipping Cream
8 precooked Sausage links, cut up.
4-6 slices Chopped and pre cooked Bacon
2 c Bread cubes. (Brioche is perfect for this)
6 Tbsp melted Butter
1 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
2 Tbsp or 1 small green onion chopped
Optional: 1 tsp Tabasco or Red Pepper flakes, chopped Tomatoes, Avocado, cooked Mushrooms… etc
also for toppings if you want, you could use Sour Cream and chopped Scallions, or Salsa etc…use your imagination.
Preheat the Oven to 350°
Mix the beaten Eggs, Cream, Cheese, ….everything except the meats…in a bowl. Set aside.
I used a stainless steel skillet, but you can use any Oven Proof Frying Pan that fits in the oven.
I also had raw bacon to fry up so I did it first. I turned the heat off….Keep the grease in the pan and add the butter and sausage. Tip the pan to coat the sides with the grease. The heat will melt the Butter. Pour all the egg mixture into the skillet . Place into the Oven for about 20-30 min, just until set in the middle. Remove from oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Loosen the casserole from the sides of the pan as you serve.
