Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups (190 g) shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup (60 g) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 lb (450 g) breakfast sausage, crumbled
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk
- ½ cup chopped green onions (optional)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preparation: Generously coat a Bundt pan with non-stick spray and preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) for optimal baking conditions.
- Meat Preparation: Brown sausage in a skillet over medium heat, drain excess fat, and set aside. Crumble bacon for additional texture and flavor.
- Ingredient Fusion: In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked sausage, crumbled bacon, hash browns, cheddar, mozzarella, and green onions, creating a robust breakfast medley.
- Liquid Base Creation: Whisk eggs with milk, incorporating garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to develop a seasoned foundation.
- Mixture Integration: Gently fold the egg mixture into the meat and vegetable combination, ensuring even distribution of ingredients and flavor profile.
- Baking Process: Pour the mixture into the prepared Bundt pan, carefully pressing and leveling to create a uniform consistency, then bake for 40-45 minutes until the surface achieves a golden-brown color and eggs are completely set.
- Cooling and Serving: Rest the cake in the pan for 5-10 minutes to stabilize its structure, then invert onto a serving plate. Slice into wedges and serve warm, presenting a delectable morning culinary creation.
Notes
- Grease Thoroughly: Use a generous amount of non-stick spray or butter to ensure the Bundt cake releases smoothly without sticking, preventing potential structural damage.
- Drain Meat Completely: Remove excess fat from sausage and bacon to maintain a crisp texture and prevent soggy, greasy results in the final dish.
- Even Distribution Matters: Gently fold ingredients and press mixture carefully into the pan to create consistent texture and prevent uneven cooking or dry spots.
- Temperature Precision: Watch the cake closely during baking to avoid overcooking, which can dry out the eggs and make the breakfast cake tough and rubbery.
