Cooking methods
Preparation steps
- Gather and measure all the ingredients required for this recipe.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces, then dice the yellow onion and bell peppers. Thinly slice the cremini mushrooms and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Cooking instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Preheat a 12" cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add your raw bacon bits to the pan, and cook until browned, about 7-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the skillet, and remove all but 3 tablespoons of rendered bacon grease in the skillet.
- Add your onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms to the pan with a pinch of salt, pepper, and about half of the Italian seasoning. Cook until vegetables are slightly softened, about 3-5 minutes. Add in the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half and half, some salt, pepper, and the remaining Italian seasoning. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture, and stir in the cheese and bacon bits. Transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until cooked through. Allow to cool for a few minutes in the skillet, top with green onions if desired, and enjoy!
Chef's pro tip
Keep a close eye on the baking time. The eggs should be set but slightly jiggly in the center. Once you take that casserole dish out of the oven, give it some time to cool down for a few minutes. Letting it rest will make it all creamy and delicious.
