Eye opening breakfast casserole from an old German favorite. Add a slice of toast and a fruit salad for a hearty start to a busy Saturday! Or how about brunch? Ingredients:
2 1/2-4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes |
1/3 cup chopped onion |
3 -4 tablespoons butter |
5 -6 eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
mixed italian herbs (basil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
25 slices pepperoni |
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese |
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large electric skillet on medium high, combine potatoes (enough to cover the bottom of the pan about 1/2-inch deep), onion and butter; saute until slightly browned. Spread evenly in pan.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, milk and seasonings. Pour over potato mixture in pan.
3. Layer pepperoni over the top. Cover pan and cook on medium low for 10-15 minutes (eggs will be 'set'). {While that's cooking, prepare a simple fruit tray or salad.}.
4. Remove lid and sprinkle cheeses over; put lid back on, but turn off the heat. Let stand 2-3 minutes. [If you're having toast with this, make it now.].
5. Cut into wedges or squares and serve immediately.
6. Option: Fry Italian bulk pork (or turkey) sausage, drain fat, add to potatoes. Toss in a can of Ro-Tel tomatoes. OR try other cheeses!
