Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 slices bacon
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups green onions, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoons butter, for greasing

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes, about 1/2 inch in size. Toss with olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until golden and tender.

Step 3

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Once cool, crumble the bacon into small pieces.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

In the prepared baking dish, layer the roasted potatoes evenly, followed by the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and half of the green onions.

Step 6

Pour the egg mixture over the layered ingredients, ensuring everything is well-covered. Use a spatula to gently press down if needed.

Step 7

Bake in the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and no longer jiggly in the center.

Step 8

Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with the remaining green onions.

Step 9

Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Brunch Bake with a side of fresh fruit or a simple green salad!
