Ingredients
- 5 strips thick-cut bacon (about 5 ounces)
- 3 cups butternut squash peeled and chopped
- 4 cups baby spinach
- 1 Tbsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup chives chopped
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 18 large eggs
- 2 cups aged white cheddar or mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and lightly coat a large casserole dish with avocado oil or olive oil.
- Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium-high, flipping every 2 to 3 minutes, until much of the fat has rendered and the bacon reaches desired done-ness. Transfer the bacon to a cutting board and leave the skillet on the stove top. Reduce heat to medium.
- Place the chopped butternut squash in the skillet and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Remove cover and add spinach. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach has wilted, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the oregano, chives, and sea salt. Chop the bacon and add it in as well. Transfer this mixture to the prepared casserole dish.
- Whisk the eggs together in a mixing bowl until creamy. Pour the beaten eggs over the vegetables and use a spoon to gently stir to evenly distribute the vegetables. Evenly sprinkle the cheese over the casserole.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven 45 to 55 minutes, until casserole tests clean (mine takes 50 minutes).
- Allow casserole to cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with plain yogurt (I use coconut milk yogurt), sour cream, chopped chives, and any other toppings you desire.
