12 oz. frozen hash brown potatoes
12 eggs
1 c. cottage cheese
2 c. shredded Jack or Swiss cheese
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
2 green onions, sliced (tops too)
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
12 slices, cooked & crumbled bacon

Equivalent amounts of diced ham or cooked sausage may be substituted for bacon.

1. The night before: Empty the potatoes into a large bowl and cover with hot tap water. Let stand for 5 minutes. Drain in a colander.

2. Beat eggs slightly, stir in potatoes, cheeses, green onion and seasonings.

3. Turn into a buttered glass 9 x 13 inch baking dish and scatter bacon on top. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

4. The next day, place the cold, uncovered dish into a cold oven. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. Cut into squares and serve. (Leftovers are great too!) Serves 12.
