I’m from the Midwest, so a potato never goes to waste in my house. I could eat potatoes all day every day for the rest of my life. I’m probably half potato. When I came across this Rösti Casserole with fried Eggs recipe, I squeaked with joy! They only thing better than a potato, is a potato mixed with cheese and topped with a fried egg. I’ve come to realize most things are better with a fried egg on top, including pizza…more on that another day.
Rösti is a Swiss dish consisting of mostly potatoes. It’s like a hash-brown casserole…Cracker Barrel, I’m looking at you. This is the perfect BLD meal (Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner). There is one tweak I will tell you to make. Instead of baking the eggs in the casserole, fry them on the stove top and put them on after the Rösti has finished baking. Baking eggs is tricky and if you want a runny yolk, you won’t get that in the oven. The yolks always cook quicker than the whites. We fried the up the eggs separately the following day with leftovers and the dish went from good to amazing!
Here’s how to make this simple and delicious Swiss dish.
In a large bowl, combine flour, yogurt, turnip, Gruyère cheese, melted butter, chives, salt, pepper, nutmeg and thawed hash-browns.
Spread the mixture in a 9″x 13″ glass baking dish.
Bake for 30 minutes. If you’re going to do the eggs stove top, bake for 40 minutes instead and fry up 8 eggs in a skillet.
If you’re baking the eggs, make 8 indentations and crack an egg into each hole.
Bake for another 10 minutes, or until whites have set.
Cut and serve.
What are some of your favorite BLD meals?

You sure did 🙂 Have a wonderful Easter!!! xoxo
Thanks for sharing this dish with us Sarah- I love learning about international foods through FF that I normally would’ve never heard of before. Your Roti Casserole looks great 🙂
It’s so simple and delicious!
My hubby and I first had rosti in Switzerland and I said I would be making it. Well haven’t yet. This recipe looks amazing and I will be pinning it!
I would love to have a Rosti in Switzerland, I’ll have to live vicariously through you 🙂 Thanks!
I haven’t made rosti in ages, but love it. Mine never looked as good as this so should give this a try.
Aren’t they delicious?!
The gruyere and nutmeg sounds delightful! Baking eggs looks like such a good method when you have plenty of people over 🙂 (A pity about the runny yolks though!) What a good breakfast or brunch this would make!
Thanks so much!
