Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams cooked salmon (flaked)
- 8 large eggs
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 100 grams sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 medium red bell pepper (diced)
- 2 cups baby spinach (chopped)
- 3 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 15 grams unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup cooked potatoes (diced, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell pepper and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gently fold in the cooked salmon, sautéed vegetables, sliced green onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and optional cooked potatoes.
Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared casserole dish and spread it out with a spatula if needed.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as a wholesome breakfast or brunch, and enjoy!
