Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Add the cooked vegetable mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, and crumbled bacon to the egg mixture. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the egg bake is set in the center and the top is golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Brunch Egg Bake!
