A quick and easy gluten-free breakfast casserole made with frozen hash browns, eggs, cheese, and simple seasonings. Prepared the night before and baked in the morning for a stress-free, hearty meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 600g) frozen shredded hash browns, no need to thaw
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (360 ml) whole milk or dairy-free alternative
  • 2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage, diced bell peppers, chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with about 1 tablespoon of butter or oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs and 1 ½ cups (360 ml) milk until smooth and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon onion powder, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Fold in 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 4 cups frozen shredded hash browns. Do not thaw hash browns.
  5. If using, stir in optional cooked sausage, diced bell peppers, or green onions.
  6. Pour mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil or a lid and refrigerate overnight for at least 8 hours, up to 24 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove cover and bake casserole for 50-60 minutes until top is golden brown and eggs are set. Tent with foil if browning too quickly.
  9. Let casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Use frozen hash browns straight from the freezer to avoid excess moisture. Whisk eggs and milk well for a fluffy texture. Cover casserole tightly when refrigerating to prevent drying out. Adjust baking time if using different pans or individual ramekins. For less watery casserole, squeeze excess moisture from hash browns before mixing. Dairy-free and vegetarian variations are possible by substituting ingredients.
