Ingredients
- 6 slices of bacon
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- Sauté the potatoes and onion: In the same skillet, add the olive oil and diced potatoes. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are golden and slightly tender. Add the diced onion and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes until the onion is soft.
- Whisk the eggs and milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Assemble the casserole: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spread the cooked potatoes and onions evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top. Pour the egg mixture over the bacon and potatoes, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Garnish and serve: Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
Enjoy this delicious and comforting casserole with family and friends!
