Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz 1 lb. frozen hashbrowns
- Nonstick spray
- 8 oz turkey bacon, or regular, chopped; if using regular, omit nonstick spray
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- 16 eggs
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- chopped chives for garnish
Instructions
- Generously spray the crockpot with nonstick spray and place the frozen hashbrowns at the bottom.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and spray it with nonstick spray. Add the chopped bacon and cook for 8-10 minutes until crispy; then, remove it with a slotted spoon and transfer it to the crockpot.
- Pour olive oil into the same skillet, then add the diced red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are softened, then add them to the crockpot.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a small blender, blend the cottage cheese and milk for about 20 seconds until smooth. Pour this mixture into the bowl with the eggs.
- Whisk the egg and cottage cheese mixture together until well mixed, then pour it into the crockpot. Finally, top with shredded cheese.
- Cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours until the eggs have set.
- Once done, slice the casserole into 8 pieces, sprinkle with chopped chives (if desired), and serve!
