A delightful breakfast casserole combining eggs, crispy bacon, and seasoned potatoes for a hearty start to your day.
Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy, then set aside on a paper towel to drain.
Cooking the bacon until crispy ensures it adds a nice crunch to the casserole.
In the same pan, sauté the chopped green onion and minced garlic in a bit of olive oil until fragrant.
Using the bacon drippings for sautéing can enhance the flavor.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper.
Whisking the eggs thoroughly ensures a fluffy texture.
Add the sautéed green onion and garlic to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Let the sautéed ingredients cool slightly before adding to the eggs to prevent curdling.
Pour the egg mixture into a greased casserole dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20-25 minutes.
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.
In a frying pan, heat olive oil and cook the diced potatoes until golden brown.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Add the diced red bell pepper, paprika, and onion powder to the potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Adding the spices towards the end preserves their flavor.
Once the egg mixture is baked, layer the cooked potato mixture on top.
Spread the potatoes evenly for a uniform layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the potato layer and return to the oven for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
For a golden crust, broil for the last 2 minutes.
Serve the casserole warm and enjoy your hearty breakfast.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
