Description

This egg casserole studded with bell peppers, potatoes, and bacon is topped with melted Cheddar cheese for a hearty breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

10 slices bacon
5 red potatoes, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
6 eggs
3/4 cup skim milk
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1 Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then crumble into pieces.
2 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease the bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
3 Layer potatoes, bell peppers, onion, and jalapeño in the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese on top. Scatter bacon pieces over Cheddar.
4 Whisk eggs, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and paprika together in a large bowl. Pour over layers in the casserole dish.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar. Continue baking until cheese is melted and golden, about 10 more minutes.
