Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pound (500 g) diced bacon, chopped (or uncooked sausages, casings removed)
• 10 large eggs
• 1 cup milk (half and half or heavy cream)
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (or thickened cream)

3. Add the onion and cook until soft (about 3 minutes).
4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream and garlic powder in a large bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper. Mix in the bacon (or sausages) and onions, tomatoes, bell peppers and cheddar cheese.
5. Add a layer of hash browns to the base of the dish. Pour the egg mixture over the hash browns. Top with the mozzarella. Bake until eggs are cooked through (about 45 to 50 minutes).
6. Serve warm with an easy to make hollandaise sauce!
