How to Make Bacon and Egg Breakfast Casserole

This recipe is a breeze to whip up. Trust me, even if mornings aren’t your thing, you’ll love how simple this is. Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Grease it with butter.
2. Get Your Bacon On: Cook your bacon in this skillet until crispy. Pull the bacon out and then crumble it into bite-sized pieces. If using sausage or ground beef, cook that now as well, then set it aside.
3. Mix the Egg Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. The mixture should be creamy and well-blended.
4. Assemble in the Skillet: Evenly distribute the cooked bacon and any sausage or ground beef in the skillet. Mix the shredded cheese into the meats.
5. Cook on Stovetop: Put the mixture over medium heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the edges just start to set, about 5-7 minutes.
6. Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Cook Sunny Side Up Eggs: Remove the skillet from the oven and carefully crack the eggs on top of the partially cooked mixture in the skillet. Make sure the yolks remain intact. Cook for a further 5-10 minutes, so the whites are set but yolks runny.
8. Garnish and Serve: Let the casserole cool in the skillet for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with green onions if desired.

Storage Tips & Meal Prep Ideas

Let’s talk leftovers (if there are any—this casserole disappears fast!):

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Freezing: Slice the casserole into portions and freeze individually for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave for a quick meal.
• Make-ahead tip: Assemble the casserole the night before and bake it fresh in the morning for an easy, stress-free breakfast.

FAQ

Can I make this casserole dairy-free? Absolutely! Swap out the heavy cream for coconut cream, butter for coconut oil, and use a dairy-free cheese alternative. It’s still just as rich and indulgent.
