Cheesy Mashed Potato Egg Casserole
Description
This casserole combines prepared mashed potatoes mixed with minced garlic, sharp cheddar cheese, black pepper, salt, and half the crumbled bacon. The mixture is spread evenly in a casserole dish, and wells are formed to crack whole eggs into. Additional bacon and cheese are sprinkled on top, then baked until egg whites are just set but yolks remain soft, creating contrast between creamy potatoes and tender eggs.
The baked eggs provide a delicate texture with slightly runny yolks if baked on the shorter side, complementing the richness of the cheesy potato and bacon base. The garlic adds subtle depth without overpowering the dish.
Serve this casserole immediately with optional green onion garnish for color and mild onion flavor. It works well as a warm breakfast or brunch centerpiece, offering both protein and comforting starch.
