Ingredients
- 1 pound Bacon diced
- 1 sweet onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 6 large eggs beaten
- 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns thawed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- ½ cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese divided
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- sliced green onions optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Prep a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from the skillet and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Drain all but 2 teaspoons of the bacon grease, add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Reserve a quarter of the bacon to add to the top of the casserole, and add the remaining bacon to the bowl with the onion mixture.
- Add the eggs, hash browns, 1½ cups cheddar cheese, cottage cheese, ½ cup Swiss cheese, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Transfer to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top into one even layer. Top with the remaining cheeses and bacon. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with green onions, if desired.
