A quick and delicious breakfast bake combining crispy hash browns, savory corned beef, and sharp cheddar cheese for a comforting and flavorful morning meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups frozen hash browns, shredded, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 cups cooked and chopped corned beef brisket (leftover or canned)
  • 1 ½ cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium heat with 1 teaspoon butter or oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent and soft, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
  4. In another large bowl, gently toss the thawed and squeezed-dry hash browns with the chopped corned beef and sautéed onion-garlic mixture until evenly distributed.
  5. Spread half of the hash brown mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the layer. Pour half of the egg mixture evenly on top.
  6. Repeat the layering with the remaining hash brown mixture, cheese, and egg mixture.
  7. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top layer.
  8. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and crispy and the center is set but moist. If the top browns too quickly, tent loosely with foil after 30 minutes.
  9. Check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick in the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  11. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, cut into squares, and serve warm.
