Description
An easy breakfast casserole recipe with eggs and sausage. Whip this hearty breakfast up in no time!
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup cottage cheese
- Pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- 4 fully cooked sausage patties (I buy these in the frozen section)
- 2 green onions, diced
- Optional: 1/4 cup bacon crumbles
Instructions
Instant Pot Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs and the cottage cheese together. Add in a pinch of pepper (I used fresh cracked pepper). Stir in the cheddar.
- Spray a 7×3 inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Break up each of the patties into 4 pieces (mine were still frozen). Lay them in the bottom of the pan. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Pour 1 ½ cups water into bottom of Instant Pot. Place the pan on top of a trivet/sling and lower the pan into the Instant Pot.
- Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set the manual/pressure cook button to 15 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 10 minutes and then move valve to venting. Remove the lid and remove the pan.
- If there is liquid on top, use a paper towel to carefully blot the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle the green onions and bacon on top. Slice and serve.
Slow Cooker Instructions:
- Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl whisk the eggs and the cottage cheese together. Add in a pinch of pepper (I used fresh cracked pepper). Stir in the cheddar.
- Break up each of the patties into 4 pieces (mine were still frozen). Lay them in the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours (depending on how hot your slow cooker cooks).
- If there is liquid on top, use a paper towel to carefully blot the top of the casserole.
- Sprinkle the green onions and bacon on top. Slice and serve.
Notes
Equipment needed: I used my 6 quart Instant Pot Duo 60 7 in 1*. You can also use an 8 quart pot. You’ll also need a 7×3 inch* (or similar size) pan and a sling/trivet* to lower the pan into the Instant Pot and retrieve it.
