Ingredients

Dairy & Eggs

  • 1
    8 large eggs
  • 2
    0.5 cup cup milk
  • 3
    0.25 cup cup shredded cheddar cheese

Vegetables

  • 1
    1 medium onion
  • 2
    1 red bell pepper
  • 3
    1 cup cup chopped spinach

Protein

  • 1
    1 cup cup cooked sausage
  • 2
    0.5 cup cup cooked bacon

Seasoning

  • 1
    0.5 teaspoon teaspoon salt
  • 2
    0.25 teaspoon teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the egg bake cooks evenly. Make sure your oven rack is in the center position.

2

Prepare Vegetables

Finely chop the onion and red bell pepper. This will help them cook through and distribute flavor evenly throughout the egg bake. Rinse the spinach well and coarsely chop it.

3

Cook Sausage and Bacon

If the bacon and sausage are not already cooked, cook them in a skillet over medium heat. If using sausage links, remove the casings and crumble. Cook until browned, then remove and set aside. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

4

Whisk Eggs and Milk

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk briskly to ensure everything is incorporated, creating a smooth, pale yellow mixture.

5

Combine Ingredients

Add the cooked sausage, bacon, chopped vegetables and spinach to the egg mixture. Gently fold everything together, ensuring the ingredients are evenly distributed within the mixture. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.

6

Prepare Baking Dish

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish (or equivalent size) with cooking spray or butter to prevent the egg bake from sticking. A glass or ceramic dish works well. Alternatively, use a similar size cast-iron skillet if you don't have a baking dish.

7

Pour and Top

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly to ensure uniform baking. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

8

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. The center should no longer jiggle when the dish is gently shaken. Use a toothpick inserted into the center to check doneness; if it comes out clean, the egg bake is ready. Remember to use oven mitts when handling the hot dish.

9

Cool and Rest

Remove the egg bake from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This helps the egg bake set further, making it easier to cut and serve. Be careful when handling the hot baking dish.

Recipe Tips

  • For best results, use fresh, good quality eggs. Their yolks should be bright yellow and the whites thick. Store eggs in the refrigerator and check the expiration date before using.
  • Customize your egg bake by adding different vegetables such as mushrooms, zucchini or different cheeses such as Monterey Jack or pepper jack.
  • Use any type of cooked meat you prefer (ham, turkey, etc.) or go vegetarian by adding more vegetables or plant-based sausage.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking dish, you can use a similar sized casserole dish or even a cast iron skillet. Just make sure it’s oven safe. Adjust baking time if you are using a deeper dish.
  • Allow the egg bake to cool slightly before cutting to ensure clean slices and to avoid it falling apart. Use a spatula to lift the first slice out of the dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warm.
  • For easy cleanup, use a baking dish that is dishwasher safe. Wipe down any spills immediately to avoid them baking onto the surface. If the dish has stuck-on food, soak it in hot, soapy water for a few minutes before washing.
  • Ensure all cooked meats are stored promptly in the refrigerator. If not serving immediately, allow the egg bake to cool slightly, then refrigerate it covered. Follow safe food handling practices by using clean utensils and keeping surfaces clean.
