- 1-1/2 cups shredded Swiss Gruyere cheese, we buy at Trader Joe’s
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon, diced onion and green pepper, over medium heat until the bacon is crisp. Drain off the bacon grease and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, defrosted shredded hash browns, both kinds of cheese, and cottage cheese; mixing well. Gently stir in the bacon mixture.
- Transfer the egg mixture to a well- greased 13x9-in. baking dish (or use cooking spray).
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until the middle is not too jiggly. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10 minutes before serving.
- Optional to serve with a dab of sour cream or salsa, or a sprinkle of fresh tomatoes and herbs. Serve with a side of fruit salad.
