Put Frozen French Fries in a Slow Cooker with 3 More Ingredients — The Result Is a Breakfast You’ll Dream About All Week

Let’s be honest — mornings are tough. Whether you're feeding a hungry family or just trying to make it out the door with coffee in hand, cooking a full breakfast can feel… ambitious. But what if you could wake up to a hot, hearty, cheesy breakfast that practically cooked itself while you slept?

Say hello to your new favorite slow cooker breakfast — made with frozen French fries and just three more ingredients. It’s ridiculously easy, incredibly comforting, and the kind of dish you’ll be craving all week long.

Here’s how to make it happen.


🍳 Slow Cooker French Fry Breakfast Casserole

🛒 Ingredients:

  • 1 (28–32 oz) bag of frozen French fries (any cut — crinkle, shoestring, or waffle all work!)

  • 8 eggs

  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite blend)

  • ½ cup milk

  • (Optional but delicious: diced cooked bacon, ham, or sausage; chopped onions or peppers; hot sauce)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Grease your slow cooker.
Spray the inside with non-stick spray or lightly butter it to prevent sticking.

2. Layer in the frozen fries.
Dump the frozen French fries directly into the bottom of the slow cooker. No need to thaw!

3. Add cheese.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the fries.

4. Whisk the eggs and milk.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt and pepper. You can add hot sauce or herbs here if you like.

5. Pour over the fries and cheese.
Gently pour the egg mixture over everything in the slow cooker.

6. Cook on LOW for 6–8 hours (or HIGH for 3–4 hours).
You’ll know it’s done when the eggs are set and fluffy, and the top is golden and cheesy.
