For Christmas, we host breakfast for my husband's parents. I usually make something I can just throw together the night before and toss in the oven the next morning (Baked French Toast, Egg casserole, etc) So, this year I found a great recipe at AllRecipes.com and have modified it below to show you how I cheated with breakfast.
Egg, Potato and Cheese Bake
Pre heat oven to 350
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 bag shredded potatoes (I used Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, but you can grate your own if you want :) )
6 eggs
16 oz cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (I didn't measure, just chopped up part of a brick and tossed it in. You can add as little or as much of this as you want)
1 box pre-cooked sausage patties. crumbled (I put them in the fridge to thaw, then crumbled them (8 patties))
Chopped peppers and onions (I used a bag of frozen peppers and onions stir-fry mix)
Mix potatoes and butter and place in bottom of greased pan (I used an 8x12 pan). Combine all other ingredients and pour over top. Bake in 350 oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Enjoy!!!!
Omigod, you're killin me! My New Year's resolution is to shed ten pounds. But this sounds so good. What am I supposed to do now. Hum....
ReplyDeleteWell, when we eat a big breakfast like this, it usually satisfies for lunch, too. Or, we have cheese and crackers (or veggies and dip) between breakfast and dinner.
