Do you have any foodie traditions for the holidays? Every Christmas morning I make the same breakfast casserole. It has the best of every good breakfast meal wrapped up into one easy dish. It only takes a few minutes to make and feeds a small crowd of people. I had my in-laws over, my mom and our family of four, and it fed us all. We also eat homemade Cinnamon rolls, but that's a whole other blog post, not sure if my mom is gonna let me give that recipe out. Ha!
You get crunchy hash browns, sausage bits and eggs with cheese. If you could swoon over food I would!
Here is my version on Christmas morning. Yum.
Here the version I have made for the past 6 years.
You will need:
* Half a package {the big bag} of frozen hash browns
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 cup butter
* 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
* 1 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
* 1 packed already cooked sausage links, cut into thirds {or you can use ham if you prefer, or veggies if you are a vegetarian}
* 2 eggs
* 1 cup whipping cream
* Salt and pepper to taste
{feeds around 6}
1. Press frozen hash browns in the bottom of your greased casserole dish, sprinkle on garlic salt and cook at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes or golden brown on the edges of your dish.
2. While your hash browns are cooking melt your butter and mix in whipping cream and eggs.
2. Then take your hash browns out of the oven and layer your sausage bits, then cheese.
4. Pour your egg mixture EVENLY over your casserole, put back into the oven for another 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown
5. ENJOY!
I used this recipe to relieve the stress of Christmas morning. With one dish I can enjoy my morning while the casserole cooks, and I only have one pan to clean up. Simple.
Happy Cooking!
