Ingredients

Protein

  • 1
    8 slices bacon slices
  • 2
    6 large eggs

Dairy

  • 1
    1 milk cup
  • 2
    1 shredded cheddar cheese cup

Vegetables

  • 1
    0.25 chopped onion cup

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.5 salt teaspoon
  • 2
    0.25 black pepper teaspoon

Directions

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the casserole bakes evenly. It's important to have the oven preheated before placing the casserole inside. The oven rack should be in the center position.

2

Cook Bacon

Place bacon slices in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until crispy. Be careful, hot bacon grease can splatter. Use tongs to remove bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then crumble.

3

Sauté Onion

In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion over medium heat until translucent and softened, about 3-5 minutes. This step adds depth of flavor to the casserole.

Whisk Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. A whisk will ensure all ingredients are mixed properly.

5

Combine Ingredients

Add the crumbled bacon, sautéed onion, and shredded cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together. Ensure everything is evenly distributed.

6

Pour into Dish

Pour the mixture into a greased 8x8 inch baking dish. If you don't have a baking dish, a similar sized oven-safe pan will work. Make sure to grease the pan to prevent sticking.

7

Bake Casserole

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden brown. The center should be firm when gently touched. If the top is browning too quickly, you can lightly tent with foil.

8

Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the casserole to set properly and makes it easier to serve. Be careful, the dish will be very hot!

Recipe Tips

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent bacon from sticking.
  • For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute the cheddar cheese with other cheeses like Monterey Jack or Colby.
  • Store leftover casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave until warm. Avoid reheating more than once for best texture.
