Equipment

Ingredients

11 slices bacon Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings
8 eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3 cups shredded hash browns
½ cup half and half
salt and pepper to taste
2 green onions sliced

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Use 8 slices of bacon to make the bacon lattice: arrange 4 strips side by side on a lined baking sheet, then weave the other 4 strips over and under them to form a square pattern. Adjust so it’s flat and even.
Lay remaining 3 slices of bacon on the lined baking sheet to cook and crumble later for the egg mixture.
Bake bacon at 400°F for 15–20 minutes (or 350°F for thinner bacon) until crisp. When done, chop the 3 separate pieces into bits and set aside.
Mix eggs, cheddar, hash browns, bacon bits, and half and half in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Grease an 8x8 dish with bacon drippings, then pour in the egg mixture and spread evenly. Reduce oven temp to 350ºF.
Bake at 350°F for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set. Remove from oven.
Pat bacon lattice dry, place on top of casserole, and garnish with sliced green onions.

Notes

Thick-cut bacon works best.
If using frozen hash browns, microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring between, until thawed and at room temperature.
