Directions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Chop the onion finely and cut the bacon into small pieces.
Cut the broccoli into small florets and grate the mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boil the diced potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Steam or boil the broccoli florets in salted water until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat a little vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Cook the bacon until crispy.
Add the chopped onion to the bacon and saut\u00e9 until the onion is translucent and soft, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
Add the cooked potatoes, broccoli, bacon, and onions to the egg mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mix gently to combine.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat your oven to 180\u00b0C (356\u00b0F).
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden and the egg mixture is set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
