Easy Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Casserole Recipe

Easy Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Casserole recipe

This casserole is a baked dish that layers bacon, whisked eggs, and cheese in a single pan. It’s a crustless, low-carb option that still feels indulgent. Similar to a frittata but heartier, it’s designed to feed several people at once, making it ideal for family breakfasts or brunch gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb bacon (cooked until crispy and chopped)

  • 10 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (or half-and-half for richness)

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)

  • 1 cup spinach or bell peppers (optional, for added nutrition)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Cook bacon

Fry bacon until crispy, then place on paper towels to drain excess grease. Chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 3: Prepare egg mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Step 4: Assemble casserole

Spread bacon evenly in the baking dish. Add optional vegetables if using. Pour egg mixture over the top and sprinkle shredded cheese generously.

Step 5: Bake casserole

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until eggs are set and the top is golden.

Step 6: Rest and serve  

Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with parsley or chives.
