Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425°F to roast the Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Toss chopped Yukon Gold potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until they're tender and browned, stirring halfway through.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
- In a skillet, warm a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft, then add minced garlic and bell peppers, cooking for 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and half of the sliced green onions.
- Layer ingredients in the greased dish: roasted potatoes, shredded cheese, sautéed veggies, egg mixture, remaining cheese, and green onions.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a light drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick. Can be made the night before for convenience.
