Ingredients

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF/180ºC and grease a deep sided 9 x 9 inch casserole dish. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat and add the bacon. Stir well to break up the chopped bacon and cook until it starts to become crisp, about 5 - 7 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet. Add the peppers and onions to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add the bacon, peppers and cheese (reserving about 3 - 4 tablespoons of the cheese) to the egg mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Pour the egg mixture into your prepared casserole dish and sprinkle over remaining cheese. Place in the preheated oven and bake between 50 minutes and one hour. Insert a toothpick into the centre to ensure the eggs have fully cooked through.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
