Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and red bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until wilted. Remove the skillet from heat and let the vegetables cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Stir the sautéed vegetables, cooked breakfast sausage or diced ham, and 3/4 of the shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
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 from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving. Enjoy your Quick and Easy Egg Bake Dinner Favorite!
