In my experience, if you want to serve your family a great egg dish, an Amish egg casserole is the best way to do it. Of all the ones I’ve tried, this is the best breakfast casserole recipe I’ve baked. It is fast, easy, and very cheesy.
Your whole family will enjoy breakfast and you will not be slaving over a stove making eggs for each and every person.
You can bake the one large breakfast casserole with bacon and hash browns and can have a seat and eat all together.
Sometimes the cook is left in the kitchen while everybody else is already eating. Not this time. You just let the oven do the cooking and you can relax and share with your loved ones.

RECIPE TIPS
- I like to buy the Cheddar and Swiss cheeses in blocks and shred it myself. This way you eliminate the additives used in pre-shredded cheese added to prevent it from sticking.
- Buy turkey bacon if you want a lower fat version of this dish
- Reduced-fat cheeses also reduce calories in this dish
- You can add chopped green bell peppers or jalapeno peppers for another pop of color.
