The Breakfast Kitchen: Bacon, Broccoli, Onion, Sweet Pepper, and Gruyere Casserole

 I'm on my journey of trying to incorporate new healthy ingredients into my recipes. Today I added chopped broccoli to my casserole. I will say it is good but not my favorite if I am being honest. I used Herbes de Provence for my spice, and I may have liked it better with just the rosemary.  It turned out well and I can feel good about eating it. 

The ingredients:

Crumbled bacon

1 C chopped broccoli

1 C chopped onion

sliced sweet mini peppers

4 oz Gruyere shredded

12 eggs

1/2 C milk

2 tsp baking powder

garlic powder

smoked paprika

salt and pepper 

Herbes de Provence

The recipe:

Grease a baking dish. 

Layer in the broccoli, onion, and sweet pepper slices. 

Bake in the over at 350 for 10-30 minutes to soften. 

In a bowl, combine the eggs, milk, baking powder, and spices (excl the Herbes de Provence) and blend until combined or whisk. 

Add the shredded cheese and the Herbes de Provence and stir to incorporate. 

Pour the egg mixture in the baking dish and spread out the cheese to cover evenly. 

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30-40 minutes. 

Note: I used frozen diced onion and frozen chopped broccoli, and the peppers had been sliced ahead and frozen.
