Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 oz frozen hash browns
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 large eggs
- 1.5 cups milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp scallions, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter.
Spread the frozen hash browns evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the melted butter over the hash browns and toss gently to coat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder until well combined.
Stir 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for topping.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the hash browns in the baking dish, ensuring all the potatoes are coated.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with chopped scallions if desired.
Slice into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your Cheddar Hash Bake!
