Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package Hormel bacon
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/4 cup chopped onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cook the Hormel bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
- Crumble the cooked bacon into small pieces and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Add shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, chopped onions, and crumbled bacon to the whisked eggs. Gently stir to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring ingredients are spread uniformly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the dish to set.
- Cut into squares and serve warm as a delightful Mother's Day brunch centerpiece.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time on Mother’s Day morning, you can chop the vegetables and crumble the bacon the night before. Just store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to cook.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap out the bell peppers and onions for your favorite vegetables, such as spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms, to cater to your family's tastes.
- Cheese Choices: Experiment with different types of cheese like feta, cheddar, or pepper jack for a unique flavor twist. Mixing cheeses can also add depth to the dish.
- Don’t Rush the Baking: Keep an eye on the bake towards the end of the cooking time. Ovens can vary, so check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
- Rest Before Serving: Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes after baking. This helps it set, making it easier to cut into perfect squares and ensuring a beautiful presentation.
- Serve with Style: Pair this egg bake with fresh fruit, pastries, or a light salad to create a well-rounded brunch that’s sure to impress your guests.
