We've enjoyed a few hearty breakfast casseroles while visiting an Amish inn. When I asked for a recipe, one of the ladies told me the ingredients right off the top of her head. I modified it to create this quick and easy breakfast casserole my family loves. —Beth Notaro, Kokomo, Indiana

Ingredients

1 pound sliced bacon, diced
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1-1/2 cups 4% cottage cheese
1-1/4 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, cook bacon and onion over medium heat until bacon is crisp; drain. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients; stir in bacon mixture. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35-40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.

Test Kitchen tips

Create a pretty burst of color and fresh flavor by adding a pinch of minced herbs to the egg mixture. Thyme and parsley are perfect candidates; try 1 teaspoon fresh or 1/4 teaspoon dried.

Cottage cheese is surprisingly versatile and almost disappears into this dish when baked.

Assemble a day in advance, and bake just before serving.

I have made this several times. My family loves it. It also reheat and freezes well. I’ve made it with different kinds of meat and cheeses. Very easy to make. I’ve made it where I prepared it and baked it right away, and I’ve made it where I prepared it put in the refrigerator and baked it the next morning. Both ways are great.

I've made this same recipe but use a roll of sausage instead of bacon. And I use shredded mozzarella cheese instead of cottage cheese.

This was great. I did add salt and pepper and reserved some of the cheese for the top.

My family and friends love this recipe. It's easy to make and versatile. Sometimes I use ham or sausage instead or add veggies like peppers or change out the kinds of cheese. Just depends on what's in my refrigerator. Its a go to favorite recipe to bring somewhere or eat at home.
