Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 8 slices bacon
- 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups green onions, finely sliced
- 1 tablespoons butter, for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size. Toss with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and tender.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and well combined.
In the prepared baking dish, layer the roasted potatoes evenly, followed by the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the green onions.
Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is well-covered. Use a spatula to gently press down if needed.
Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly in the center.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions.
Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Brunch Bake with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad!
