Description
A delicious and hearty casserole made with potatoes, broccoli, and Pepper Jack cheese, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb Yukon Gold or russet potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes
- 2 cups broccoli florets, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- ½ medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 ½ cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or green onions, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn lightly golden.
- Add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the broccoli and garlic powder, then cook for another 3–4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika until well combined.
- Spread the potato and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Pepper Jack cheese over the vegetables. Pour the egg mixture evenly over everything.
- Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of Pepper Jack cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 35–45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center and the top is lightly golden.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions, if desired.
Notes
- If using frozen hash browns, ensure they are thawed and drained before cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
- This casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
