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 Daisy 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.

The result is exactly like a bacon-flavored block of cheese. Can not recommend.

@LittleDixie: Your oven might need to be recalibrated. Put an over thermometer in to test what your actual temperature in there is and then you can adjust your temp accordingly.

I have used this recipe for years! I always mix it together on Christmas Eve and just pop it in the oven Christmas morning. I love to add a small can or two of hatch chiles! I mention it on my blog here: www.maternitydessert.com

This was a delicious casserole! We liked it so well, we ate it for breakfast, then had leftovers for supper! I subbed ham for the bacon and added some bell peppers. So good! Even the hubby was raving about it! Lol
