Scale
For the Potatoes
- 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/4 inch chunks
- avocado oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
For the Egg Casserole
- 1/2 tablespoon avocado oil
- 12 large eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion, plus more for topping
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup shredded sharp white cheddar cheese
- 2 cups diced thick cut ham
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small green bell pepper, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
Instructions
Method:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Make the potatoes: Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Toss the diced potatoes in a large mixing bowl with olive oil. Transfer the potatoes to the lined sheet pan and roast for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Transfer the crispy potatoes to a mixing bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss to coat and set aside. Lower the oven temperature to 400.
- While the potatoes are baking, add the eggs, almond milk, green onion, hot sauce, salt, and pepper to a large mixing bowl. Whisk together until well combined and then fold in shredded cheese.
- Next, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add a bit of oil and then add the diced ham. Cook the ham for 2-3 minutes just until it begins to brown.
- Once the ham is brown add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic. Sauté for another 3-5 minutes or until onion and bell pepper start to become tender. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Give your casserole dish a light spray of olive or avocado oil to prevent sticking and then add the ham mixture. Then add the potatoes and toss until well combined.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly over the ham and veggies. Bake the casserole at 400 degrees for 35-40 (check after 30 minutes) until the egg is completely set. Let cool and then garnish with a bit of fresh parsley and green onion. Slice into 12 pieces and serve.
