1cupdiced bell peppers
1cupminced onions
½tablespoonminced garlic
10eggs
½teaspoondried parsley
½teaspoondried basil
¼teaspoonblack pepper
2 ½cupsthawed shredded hash browns about ½ lb
1cupshredded cheddar cheese optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and prepare a greased 9×13 glass or ceramic baking dish.
Heat a large sauté pan on the stove. You can spray lightly with cooking spray/olive oil but do not pour oil into the pan!
Add the bacon directly to the hot pan. Cook the bacon for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes. You may need to do this in 2 different sets if your pan is not large enough.
One the bacon is cooked, remove from the pan and place on a paper towel lined plate. Use a paper towel to soak up most of the bacon fat/grease - but leave some in the pan for sautéing veggies.
Add the peppers, onions and garlic to the warm bacon fat. Sauté for 5 minutes.
While the veggies cook, whisk together the eggs and dried spices in a large bowl. Crumble the bacon using your hands or a scissors.
Add the cooked bacon, veggies, thawed hash browns and cheddar cheese to the egg mixture. Stir well to combine.
Pour into prepared greased 9×13 baking dish.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are completely set in the center.
