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)

Potato Moisture Control 💦
Thaw frozen hash browns completely and pat them dry with paper towels to prevent excess liquid and ensure a crispy, golden casserole texture.
Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
Grate your own cheddar cheese instead of using pre-shredded varieties, as fresh cheese melts more smoothly and provides superior flavor and texture.
Even Egg Distribution 🥚
Whisk eggs thoroughly and pour them slowly over the hash browns, gently shaking the baking dish to ensure the egg mixture penetrates all layers evenly.
Butter Browning Technique 🧈
Melt butter in the baking dish before adding hash browns to create a rich, golden bottom crust that adds depth of flavor and prevents sticking.
Perfect Casserole Doneness 🌡️
Check the casserole's doneness by inserting a knife in the center - it should come out clean and the top should be golden brown with slightly crispy edges.
