Ingredients

  • 3 pound Yukon Gold potatoes chopped into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for the baking dish
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper stemmed, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach roughly chopped
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your baking dish with a little extra olive oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped Yukon Gold potatoes along with ½ teaspoon of sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
  • Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet with the potatoes. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent. Then, add the chopped red and green bell peppers, and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes. Finally, stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 12 large eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt until well combined.
  • Add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the bowl with the egg mixture. Gently fold in the chopped green onions and shredded cheddar cheese until everything is evenly distributed.
  • Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Ensure that the ingredients are well distributed throughout the dish.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  • Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares. Serve warm, and enjoy the hearty flavors of this Breakfast Casserole!
