Cheesy Egg and Hashbrown Casserole

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

Set a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the thawed hash brown potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are slightly crisp and golden brown, 6-7 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Add the hash brown potatoes and shredded cheese. Fold with a rubber spatula to evenly distribute.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake the casserole on middle rack of oven until top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40-45 minutes.

Check to see that casserole is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Allow casserole to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Cut the casserole into squares, or simply spoon onto plates.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Thaw Hash Browns Partially 🧊
Let frozen hash browns sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before mixing to remove excess moisture, preventing a watery casserole and ensuring crispy, evenly cooked potatoes.
Toast the Cheese First 🧀
Reserve half your shredded cheddar and sprinkle it on top during the last 10 minutes of baking to achieve a golden, crispy cheese crust while the interior stays creamy.
Prep Your Pan Properly 🍳
Combine nonstick spray with a light butter coating on your baking dish—this prevents sticking better than either alone and adds subtle flavor to the edges.
Use Room Temperature Eggs 🥚
Allow eggs to come to room temperature before whisking; they'll blend more smoothly with the milk and create a more uniform, evenly-set custard throughout the casserole.
Don't Skip the Resting Period ⏱️
Let the baked casserole rest for 5 minutes after removing from the oven before cutting—this allows the eggs to fully set and makes serving cleaner, more attractive portions.
