Confetti Bacon Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole
Description
The Confetti Bacon Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole brings together frozen shredded hash browns with a rich combination of beaten eggs and cottage cheese, creating a custardy base. Cheddar and Swiss cheeses add layers of flavor and melty texture. Green chiles contribute a mild heat and vegetal notes, while red bell peppers and green onions add subtle sweetness and freshness. Crumbled cooked bacon provides smoky, savory bites throughout.
Baked covered first and then uncovered, the casserole sets firmly with a tender interior and slightly crisped top. The layered ingredients create an interplay of textures, from the soft, creamy interior to bits of crisp bacon and tender peppers.
This dish is well suited for serving family-style at breakfast or brunch. It can be prepped in advance, then baked and kept warm for guests. The casserole cuts into squares for convenient portions.
