Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 8 slices cooked and crumbled bacon
- 1 medium diced green bell pepper
- 1 medium diced onion
- 3 cups frozen hash browns
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until combined and frothy.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the diced green bell pepper and onion, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the frozen hash browns and cook for another 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown.
Add the cooked vegetables and hash browns to the prepared baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
Using the same skillet, pour in the egg mixture and cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set (do not overcook).
Layer the scrambled eggs evenly on top of the vegetables in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the eggs, followed by the shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the casserole tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Scrambled Egg Casserole!
