Ingredients
  

Bacon and Vegetables
  • 4 slices Bacon Adds savory flavor and protein. Substitute with 2 tablespoons of olive oil for a vegetarian option.
  • ½ cup Onion Provides aromatic sweetness. Use shallots for a milder flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Enhances savoriness. Garlic powder can be used as a substitute.
  • 4 cups Mixed Vegetables Includes bell peppers, broccoli, zucchini, etc. Choose seasonal vegetables for better flavor or use frozen veggies for convenience.
Egg Mixture
  • 10 Eggs Main binding agent that provides protein and structure. Can substitute with egg whites for a lower cholesterol option.
  • ¼ cup Whole Milk Adds creaminess; can be replaced with almond milk for dairy-free versions.
  • ½ teaspoon Sea Salt Enhances flavor. Adjust to taste or use kosher salt.
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a hint of spice. Ground pepper enhances the flavor more than pre-ground.
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika Adds color and a mild smokiness. Replace with cayenne for added heat.
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese Provides richness and flavor. Try mozzarella or feta for different flavor profiles.

Equipment

  • 10" cast iron skillet
  • mixing bowl

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic. Chop your mixed vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a 10" cast iron skillet, add the bacon over medium heat. Cook until crispy and browned, about 5-7 minutes. Add the diced onion and minced garlic.
  3. Once the bacon is cooked, add your chopped mixed vegetables into the skillet. Cover and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the 10 eggs, whole milk, sea salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined. Stir in the cheddar cheese.
  5. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the cooked bacon and vegetables. Stir gently to combine without overmixing.
  6. Reduce heat to medium and let cook on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes until edges start to set.
  7. Transfer the skillet into your preheated oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the top is golden brown.
