Ingredients
- ½ pound bacon , cut into
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped bell peppers
- 2 cups frozen diced potatoes
- 8 large eggs
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese , more if desired
For serving: green onions, salsa, hot sauce
Instructions
- Preheat: Butter a 9×9" (or 8×10") baking dish and set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cook: In a large skillet cook the bacon pieces until crisp. Remove bacon and plate on a plate lined with paper towels. Leave grease in pan. Add the 1/2 cup onions and 1/2 cup bell peppers to the pan and cook 3-5 minutes or until tender, then remove to plate.
- Whisk: In a large bowl whisk together 8 eggs with 1/3 cup milk. Add in the salt and pepper.

- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and add remaining bacon on top and cook an additional 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes clean.
- Serve: Let rest 5 minutes before serving and then slice and serve warm. Top with sliced green onion and salsa or hot sauce if desired.
Notes
Make ahead: This dish can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Simply cover and refrigerate before baking.
Storage: Once baked, store leftovers for up to 4 days covered in the refrigerator.
Meat: You could also substitute with ground turkey, ham or breakfast sausage.
Vegetables: Feel free to add in any vegetables you'd like. Some of my favorites to add are mushrooms, chopped asparagus or broccoli.
