Print Recipe
make-ahead full breakfast. Hash browns, bacon, eggs, baked beans and sausages
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:45 minutes
Total Time:55 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 kilo frozen hash browns depends on the amount you want to feed. I used 1kg worth
  • 1 can baked beans
  • 8-10 breakfast sausages cooked and sliced
  • 6-8 slices streaky bacon cooked until crispy
  • 4 –6 eggs depends on how many you are feeding
  • 1-2 cups of grated cheese cheddar, Edam or your favourite melt-y cheese

Instructions

  • Bake the hash brown base
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (fan 180°C). Lay the frozen hash browns in a single layer in a baking dish. Bake for 15–20 minutes until they’re golden and crisp around the edges.
  • Build the breakfast layers
  • Spread the baked beans evenly over the hot hash browns. Scatter the cooked sausages and crispy bacon over the top. You can cook them at the same time in the oven while the hash browns are cooking.
  • Add the eggs
  • Make small wells in the mixture and carefully crack an egg into each one. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Top with cheese
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese over the entire dish. Keep it away from the eggs if you prefer visible yolks.
  • Bake until just set
  • Return to the oven for 10–15 minutes. Continue baking until the egg whites are set. Cook the yolks to your liking. The cheese should be melted and golden.
  • Serve and enjoy
  • Spoon into bowls or slice like a casserole. Add chopped chives or spring onions if you like, and enjoy a full cooked breakfast all in one!

Notes

Stacey’s Kitchen Tips
  • Prep ahead: Cook the sausages and bacon the day before for a super quick assembly.
  • Make it spicy: Add a spoonful of chilli jam or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a little heat.
  • Feed a crowd: Double the recipe in a large roasting dish — perfect for brunch parties or overnight guests.
  • Egg alternatives: If you don’t want runny yolks, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Then pour them over the top like a breakfast quiche.
Variations
  • Vegetarian: Use vegetarian sausages and swap the bacon for mushrooms.
  • Loaded Breakfast Bake: Add tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, or caramelised onions.
  • Cheesy Delight: Mix a little cream cheese into the baked beans for a creamy layer.
