We enjoyed a hearty breakfast bake during a visit to an Amish inn. When I asked for the recipe, one of the ladies told me the ingredients right off the top of her head. I modified it to create this version my family loves. Try breakfast sausage in place of bacon. —Beth Notaro, Kokomo, Indiana

Wow! This was great! I used extra-sharp cheddar cheese. My husband and kids loved it. Thank you for a great recipe I will use a lot. :)

We were snowed in and I made this, and it is fantastic . . . cannot wait to make it again. I used Bob Evans sausage since I had it on hand and probably used close to 5 cups of shredded hashbrowns to make it firmer. My husband and I love it, and this is our new favorite breakfast casserole now. The next time I will use bacon instead to see if it is as good.

I have made this for Christmas morning the last two years. It is a hit. I substitue Monterey Jack for the Swiss. And I cook the bacon and onion up the night before and measure out the other ingredients in a large bowl. Basically do everything except add the eggs. I do that in the morning. I get it out a few minutes earlier and bake it a little longer. Works really well.

I made this for our Christmas morning breakfast and we really enjoyed it. Now that I've tried it once I would add some additional ingredients next time I made it.

Made this for a Bible Study Brunch and was a huge success. The potatoes are a welcomed change from bread and the cottage cheese makes it oh so creamy. Wouldn't change a thing and will definately make again.

Being I'm watching the fat intake, I found this recipe easy to defat with turkey bacon and lowfat or no fat cheeses. If you don't have frozen hash browns, shred or dice the potatoes.

I haven't tried it yet but wonder how the Amish prepared potatoes for it. I'm SURE they didn't use frozen hash browns.

This recipe is delicious. To the person who would like to substitute Ricotta instead of cottage cheese, that would work fine also but since Ricotta is alot more expensive you might consider just putting your cootage cheese through a food processor or blender and your cottage cheese hater will not know the difference.

Has anyone ommited the cottage cheese and used something else? I have one in the family that if they see cottage cheese they won't use it. Would ricotta cheese work?
