Cook Time 1 hr

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sliced bacon, chopped
  • 1/2 lb breakfast sausage
  • 1 cup green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup white mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups small curd cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • In the same skillet, cook the sausage until no longer pink. Drain excess grease and set aside.
  • Add diced bell peppers and sliced mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • In a blender or food processor, combine eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the bacon, sausage, sautéed vegetables, frozen hash browns, and all cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, Gruyere).
  • Pour the egg mixture over the meat, veggies, and potatoes. Stir gently to combine well.
  • Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading evenly.
  • Bake uncovered for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the top is golden and eggs are set.
  • Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
