Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 cup cooked sausage, crumbled
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This initial step ensures that your casserole bakes evenly and cooks through without lingering in a lukewarm space. Oven temperature plays a vital role in ensuring your dish comes out with a beautiful golden brown top.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and heavy cream. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until they achieve a smooth, homogenous mixture. This step is crucial as it creates a fluffy texture for your casserole. The eggs provide the primary structure, while the heavy cream contributes richness and moisture.
- Now, to the egg mixture, stir in all the delightful add-ins: cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, crumbled sausage, diced bell pepper, minced onion, chopped spinach, and a dash of salt and pepper. This is where you can really let your culinary creativity shine. Fold the ingredients together gently, ensuring every bit is coated in the egg mixture, which allows for even distribution of flavors.
- Take your greased 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the entire mixture into it. Spread the mixture evenly so that it bakes uniformly. If you want extra attractiveness in your casserole, you can sprinkle a bit more cheese on top.
- Slide the baking dish into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 30–35 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the casserole is set in the middle and the top has turned a golden brown. Monitoring this closely can prevent overbaking, which could lead to a dry texture.
- Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into slices. This cooling period helps set the casserole and makes slicing easier. Serve warm, and watch your loved ones dig in!
Notes
Ensure the vegetables are chopped small to allow even cooking time. Using freshly cooked meats contributes to overall flavor, avoid pre-cooked products with fillers. For spicier flavor, consider jalapeños or cayenne pepper in your mix.
