Ingredients
- ¼ cup onion diced
- ¼ cup bell pepper diced
- 1 cup sweet potato shredded
- cooking spray
- ½ package thick cut bacon
- 2 tbsp breakfast blend seasoning
- 9 eggs
- 1 cup egg whites
- 3 tbsp milk
- 1 cup spinach chopped
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Optional garnishes
- 2 tbsp green onion chopped
- ½ avocado sliced
- extra Bacon
- extra cheese
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Prepare all ingredients prior to cooking for a seamless process. Dice your onion and bell pepper. Chop your spinach. Then, using a vegetable peeler, remove the skin and any blemishes from the sweet potato and grate it. Be careful of your fingers during this process!
- Next, using kitchen shears, cut bacon into small strips, about ¼" thick. Place directly into a cooking pan. Then, heat pan to medium-heat and cover with a lid. Again, be careful of the bacon grease here. It will get everywhere. (That's why we have the lid.) If you have a splatter guard, that would be great to use here as well.
- Cook the bacon for 6-8 minutes or until 90% cooked. Then, drain grease from the pan. Pro Tip: Save a tablespoon or two of the grease to drizzle on top of the casserole. IT'S SO GOOD.
- Keep the bacon in the pan over medium-heat. Then, add in sweet potato, onion, and bell pepper. Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons of breakfast blend seasoning and sauté vegetables until golden. (Don't cook them completely through.) Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, and 2 more tablespoons of breakfast blend seasoning and pour into a greased baking dish.
- Add bacon and vegetables into the egg mixture. Then, stir in chopped spinach.
- Lastly, sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Bake for 40 minutes. At the 30 minute mark, cover the casserole dish with tin foil to prevent the cheese from burning.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with avocado slices and green onion. Slice into squares, and enjoy!
Notes
- Nothing complements an egg breakfast like a nice drizzle of ketchup. You could also use special sauce, ranch, bleu cheese...use what you like!
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can wrap the dish you cooked the casserole in or transfer slices to an airtight container.
- Do not to pour bacon grease down the drain. Doing this repeatedly over time will clog your drains. I recommend pouring into another container like an old coffee can, storing somewhere discreet, and throwing it in the trash when full.
