Ultimate Breakfast Lasagna: A Hearty and Delicious Meal

As a busy working mom, finding time to cook a delicious and nutritious breakfast can feel like an impossible task. I often find myself rushing out the door in the morning, grabbing whatever I can find, or worse, skipping breakfast altogether. This, however, was not the case this week. I was feeling particularly overwhelmed by the demands of work and family, and quite frankly, I was completely out of breakfast ideas. So, what did a woman who struggles with making the time do? I turned to the internet for inspiration!

Step-by-step

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Lay bacon on aluminum foiled cookie sheet.
• Start baking bacon for 30 minutes then check every 10 minutes until done.
• Remove and set off to the side flat on a plate. Keep oven at 350 degrees.
• Get a good pretty big nonstick pan on medium heat.
• Drop in breakfast sausage and brown while separating meat. I like to cook mine to where it has crispy darker spots.
• When sausage is brown to your taste, remove and drain.
• In the same dirty pan, add the onions, bell peppers, and 2 tsp Cottonmouth, 1 tsp of the salt (.5 salt going in eggs).
• Carmelize the and add the 5 cups of hash browns.
• Cook to your desired doneness, at least not raw. I also like a darker golden crusty in my hashbrowns.
• Take a small taste of the hashbrowns for a salt check. Adjust if needed.
• When done set the hashbrowns in a bowl off to the side.
• Wipe any crusty or leftover hashbrowns out of the pan but don't clean.
• Set pan on medium-low.
• In another bowl crack the 11 eggs in, add 1/2 tsp of salt, and scramble with a whisk. I scramble quite a bit but not too stiff.
• Drop the 4 tablespoons of butter in the pan and melt.
• Then gently pour in the scrambled eggs.
• If heat is low enough to let the eggs sit for about 2 minutes, then take a spatula and flip the bottom "cooked" to the top side.
• You won't be flipping like an omelet; the egg should break and eventually finish.
• Try to undercook the eggs a frog's hair, but it's not critical.
• Now layer everything. The eggs, hash browns, cheese, will be divided into 2.
• Butter up a 12x10 or small Pyrex casserole dish.
• Add layers: 1/2 hashbrowns, sausage, 1/2 eggs, 1/2 cheddar, 1/2 hashbrowns, bacon, 1/2 eggs, 1/2 cheddar.
• Cover with tinfoil and bake on 350 for 30 minutes.
• Uncover and cook an additional 15 minutes.
• Optional: to leave the foil on Pyrex and cook the lasagna for 45 minutes
