Essential Tips for Layering & Assembly
For the best results, evenly layer your meats and vegetables in the baking dish to guarantee that every slice is packed with flavor. A Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper quickly dices onions and peppers, saving time and ensuring uniformity. Use pre-cooked, shredded potatoes or hash browns for convenience.
Craving even browning and an easy cleanup? Line your baking dish with a piece from the Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll before assembling the casserole.
Cooking Techniques for Perfect Results
Begin by cooking the bacon, sausage, and ham separately for optimal texture and flavor. To easily break up sausage as it browns, reach for the Farberware Professional Heat Resistant Nylon Meat and Potato Masher, ensuring fine crumbles that cook evenly. Sauté vegetables in the meat drippings for extra depth, or use a nonstick skillet like the SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch for healthier, effortless cooking.
Once everything’s cooked, layer meats, potatoes, and veggies in the dish. Whisk together eggs, milk, and seasoning using a sturdy mixing bowl; a digital scale such as the Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display helps ensure precise ingredient measurements for perfect consistency.
Serving & Storing Your Breakfast Casserole
After letting your casserole rest for a few minutes out of the oven, slice and serve warm. Store leftovers in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup) for easy meal prep through the week—you can even reheat individual portions for a hearty, grab-and-go breakfast.
