This is our all-time favorite breakfast casserole. I've been making it for years. You can add any kinds of cheeses, any kind of meat or vegetables. We like using 3c potatoes instead of 4, and Gruyere instead of Swiss cheese. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent breakfast casserole. I added green pepper and a little garlic to it. Also served it with salsa and sour cream. This freezes well too. I divided into two pans, baked one and froze the other.

This was awesome! I've been looking for a great breakfast casserole for years - and this is truly wonderful. I made it initially for a weekly teacher breakfast at my school. I thought I had made too much - instead everyone gobbled it up and there was none left! My only complaint is that I found it to be just a little bland. (The recipe calls for no additional spices...which I thought was sort of odd.) I browned the hash browns (which takes forever, good lord), but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. (I made it the night before and then baked it in the morning before I left for work - this also turned out quite well!) The second time I made it (tonight), I added a lot of salt and pepper to the eggs and the overall mixture. I also added some truly excellent hot sauce my husband and I love to the eggs and into the whole mixture. (Just a few dribbles.) I basically added blindly. It turned out SO WELL. Just gave it enough heat to be interesting, but not overpowering. My hot sauce is not for the faint of heart...so if you're using something less insane like Frank's or Sriracha, you made need more. Additionally, my Swiss cheese bag was 1 1/2 cups...I figured extra cheese makes everyone happier, and I just added all of it. :D I think there's a lot of wiggle room to make it however it makes you happy. But seriously: MAKE THIS. IT'S DA BOMB.

Followed the recipe to a T and 8 people devoured this. Very easy to put together, which I did the day before and baked in the morning. Not great on the waste line, but a definite keeper!

Delicious! Next time I might try using sausage instead of bacon and adding green chilies... or maybe not as it was good just the way it was. Definitely a winner!

Ive made this numerous times with 4% cottage cheese and even 2% and it still tasted both great! My father in law and husband who are not fans of cottage cheese LOVED it and wouldn't have even known there was cottage cheese in there. I have also used part skim cheese and it didn't make a significant difference just to make recipe lighter. I had a bag of potatoes to use up one time and chopped them into chunks and boiled them, drained, and used the recipe as is and they were delicious if you are looking to not use the frozen bag ones.Both ways are phenomenal but the skim substitutes makes per serving a bit lighter for those who are not looking for those who are watching their waist line =) excellent recipe and is a go to when I have a huge brunch and family visiting in town!

Huge hit with my family. Super easy to throw together. Have made many different variations with this recipe. Spicey sausage, monteray jack cheese instead of swiss cheese and added a small jar of salsa for a delicious mexican twist. Meat lovers style, with half of a pound of each, sausage, bacon and ham, and veggy with sauteed red and yellow peppers, spinach, onion and mushrooms with sliced tomatoes on top. All fantastic!

Tasty and easy to tweak and take in so many directions. I make this for dinner and always have enough for left overs for breakfast. Try using a good quality chorizo and minced serrano peppers and give it a Mexican flair, you can spice it any way you like.
