Easy Breakfast Casserole Simple and Tasty Recipe
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 cups diced cooked potatoes (or frozen hash browns)
- 1 cup chopped bell peppers (red, green, or yellow)
- 1 cup chopped fresh spinach
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- to taste salt and pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes (optional for a little kick)
- for garnish fresh herbs (chives or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using) to the egg mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
- Layer the diced potatoes on the bottom of the greased baking dish evenly.
- Spread the chopped bell peppers and spinach over the potatoes.
- Pour the egg mixture over the layered vegetables, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. You can insert a knife in the center to check for doneness; it should come out clean.
- Once baked, let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
