Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies (original or preferred heat level)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a small amount of olive oil.
In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, crack all 8 eggs. Whisk them together with the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Drain the can of Rotel tomatoes and green chilies and add them to the egg mixture. Stir in the sautéed onions and garlic. If using, also stir in the cooked breakfast sausage.
Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and half of the Monterey Jack cheese to the egg mixture, folding gently to combine.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the top of the egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the middle and the top is lightly golden brown.
Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro before serving.
Cut into squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
