Ingredients

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1/4 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Base Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen shredded hash browns
  • 8 cups sweet Hawaiian rolls, diced into cubes
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped

Egg Mixture

  • 12 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and colby jack)
  • Olive oil for frying hash browns

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Spray a bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy release after baking.
  2. Cook Hash Browns: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shredded hash browns and fry until they are lightly browned and crispy. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Assemble Layers in Bundt Pan: Layer half of the diced Hawaiian rolls evenly in the prepared bundt pan. Sprinkle the chopped green onions and cooked hash browns on top. Then sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheese over these layers. Finally, add the remaining diced bread cubes evenly on top.
  4. Make Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, milk, heavy cream, minced garlic, cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Combine and Rest: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the bundt pan. Cover the bundt pan tightly with foil and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Add Remaining Cheese and Bake: Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese on top. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the breakfast bundt cake to cool for a few minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. Slice into 8 servings and enjoy warm.

Notes

  • You can substitute sweet Hawaiian rolls with any soft white bread or brioche for a different flavor profile.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the cheese and milk products are suitable for vegetarian diets.
  • This dish can be prepared the night before; after soaking, cover and refrigerate overnight, then bake in the morning.
  • Feel free to add cooked breakfast sausage or bacon for a meatier version.
  • Use a combination of cheddar and colby jack cheese for a melty and flavorful cheese blend.
