Au Gratin Potato Breakfast Bake
Au Gratin Potato Breakfast Bake is a hearty meal made with seasoned roasted potatoes, sautéed veggies, crisp bacon, cheese, and a creamy egg blend.
Ingredients
- 2 medium size Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, sliced into 1/4 inch slices about 2 cups
- 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoned salt, divided
- 3 bacon slices cut into small pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 5 medium eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- fresh cilantro for toppings optional
Instructions
Heat oven to 425℉.
- Spray a 1.5 qt shallow casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray. Add sliced potatoes, avocado oil, and 1 tsp seasoned salt. Toss to coat well. Spread the potatoes in a single layer but overlapping is just fine. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and tender, then turn heat down to 350℉.
- While potatoes roast cook bacon pieces in a skillet until crispy, then transfer to a paper towel lined plate. Discard the grease from the pan and add the onions and peppers. Sauté until tender.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs, heavy cream and 1/2 tsp seasoned salt until smooth.
- Evenly scatter veggies over the top of the roasted potatoes followed by half of the bacon and half of the cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the top then sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and bacon. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are puffed and set. Top with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
Tips:
Potatoes- Any kind of potato will work well with this recipe. Thin skin potatoes do not need to be peeled.
Veggies- Add the veggies you love. Sautéed mushrooms, zucchini, and cooked spinach, are great options.
Meats- Breakfast sausage, ham, or even chorizo would be a nice addition.
Cheese- Use Colby Jack, sharp cheddar, gruyere, mozzarella, or even pepper Jack for a touch of heat.
Fresh toppings- Garnish with fresh parsley, chives, or tomatoes to add fresh flavor.
Leftovers- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
