### The Ingredients:
– **1 bag of frozen French fries (about 26 ounces)**
– **1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese**
– **8 large eggs**
– **1 cup whole milk**
That’s it—just four ingredients (counting the fries) and a little prep the night before. Here’s how it all comes together.
### The Magic Method:
1. **Grease your slow cooker** with non-stick spray or a little butter to prevent sticking.
2. **Layer the frozen French fries** evenly on the bottom.
3. **Sprinkle the shredded cheese** over the fries.
4. In a separate bowl, **whisk together the eggs and milk** until well combined.
5. **Pour the egg mixture** over the fries and cheese in the slow cooker.
6. **Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours** (perfect for overnight) or on HIGH for 3–4 hours, until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly.
### Why This Works:
The fries act like a hash brown base—crispy on the bottom and soft in the middle. As they soak up the egg mixture, they create a casserole-style dish that’s layered with cheesy, savory flavor. You wake up to a warm, ready-made breakfast that feels indulgent but takes almost no effort.
### Make It Your Own:
Want to kick it up a notch? Try adding any of these optional extras:
– **Crumbled cooked bacon or sausage**
– **Chopped onions or bell peppers**
– **A dash of hot sauce or your favorite seasoning blend**
This dish is endlessly customizable and perfect for feeding a crowd, making it a great option for holiday mornings, brunches, or just treating yourself to a better Monday.
So next time you’re staring at a bag of frozen fries, think beyond the side dish. With this easy slow cooker recipe, you’ve got the makings of a breakfast you’ll look forward to all week long.
