Equipment

Ingredients

10 ounces bacon roughly diced
1 red onion thinly sliced
2 red bell peppers cut into thin strips
8 eggs
¼ cup half and half cream
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 cups frozen hash browns thawed
¾ cup cottage cheese
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 360 degrees F and line a 9x13-inch casserole dish with parchment paper. Also, line a plate with paper towels.
Cook the bacon. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until crispy, stirring intermittently. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to the prepared plate. Drain all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease from the pan.
Cook the veggies. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the onion and bell peppers. Saute until softened. Set aside.
Whisk. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, salt, and pepper.
Put it all together. Stir the hash browns, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and parmesan cheese into the egg mixture. Fold in the bacon and the sauteed veggies.
Bake. Spread the contents of the bowl evenly into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40 minutes or until set.
Rest. Let the casserole sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
