Servings: 15 Servings
Calories: 198kcal
Ingredients
- 1 30-oz bag hashbrowns (thawed)
- 2 tsp sea salt to taste, divided
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon chopped
- 1 large crown broccoli chopped into small florets
- 12 large eggs well-beaten
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
Optional Add Ins:
- 1/2 cup cream or half & half
- 1/2 cup yellow onion finely chopped
- 1 bell pepper chopped
- 3 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
- Before doing anything else, take the hashbrowns out of the freezer and allow them to thaw. It's okay if they are still cold and a bit frozen, but you want the strands of grated potato to break apart easily.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly spray or grease a large (13” x 9”) casserole dish.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat on the stove top and add the chopped bacon. Cook the bacon, flipping occasionally, until it reaches desired level of doneness.
- Transfer the thawed hashbrowns to the prepared casserole dish and sprinkle liberally with sea salt, followed by the chopped broccoli and the cooked bacon (including all of the bacon fat!!)
- Whisk the eggs and sea salt in a large mixing bowl until well-beaten. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the hashbrowns and use a spoon or rubber spatula to stir everything around until it appears evenly-distributed. Sprinkle casserole with cheese.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until eggs are cooked and cheese is golden-brown. Let rest 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
