BACON, EGG AND CHEESE BREAKFAST CASSEROLE
Falling somewhere between a frittata and a tortilla española, this breakfast casserole has everything you love about a classic bacon, egg and cheese sandwich: smoky bacon, perfectly set eggs, sharp Cheddar and, if you want (and you definitely do), tangy hot sauce. Thinly sliced potatoes are added for structure and heft, and cooking them will be the most time-consuming part of this whole dish. The great news is that it's as delicious (if not more so) the next day, rewarmed or not. If you like, you can bake the casserole the night before and refrigerate, covered, when cool. To reheat, cover with foil and place in a 325-degree oven until warmed through, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cook bacon in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and the fat has rendered out, 8 to 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove from skillet, leaving fat behind.
- Add olive oil, potatoes and onion slices to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally until the potatoes are tender and start to brown, and the onions are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Return bacon to skillet and stir to combine so that everything is distributed evenly.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs together and season with salt and pepper. Add cheese and whisk to blend. Transfer potato mixture to a 1 1/2- to 2-quart baking dish (any shape will work) and pour egg mixture over. Place in oven and bake until eggs are puffed around the edges and just set in the center, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before eating. Serve with hot sauce if you like.

This is a simple recipe, easy to make. Really nice when you have company over in the morning. Get it ready, pop it in the oven and you have time to socialize while it's cooking! I cut this recipe in half and place it in a pie plate and bake uncovered for 45 minutes for breakfast for a smaller family; it tastes very much like a crustless quiche and my husband loves it! That is how it is shown in the picture.

Tips:
- Choose the right bread: This recipe calls for a loaf of French bread, but you can use any type of bread you like. If you're using a softer bread, like white bread or challah, you may need to reduce the amount of milk or cream in the recipe.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in this casserole should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will make the casserole dry and tough.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your casserole. Use fresh eggs, milk, and cream, and good-quality bacon.
- Make it ahead of time: This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated in the morning. This is a great option if you're short on time in the mornings.
Conclusion:
This bacon breakfast casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weekend brunch or breakfast. It's also a great way to use up leftover bacon. With a few simple tips, you can make a casserole that is sure to please everyone at the table.
