Ingredients

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
12 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil plus additional for greasing the baking dish
1 cup roasted red pepper strips
2 cups frozen diced potatoes do not thaw
2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 ounces baby spinach approximately 5 packed cups
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups half-and-half
8 ounces sliced white or brown mushrooms
2 cups shredded carrots

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Begin by preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C), positioning the oven rack in the center to ensure even baking.

Prepare the Baking Dish

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and to add a subtle layer of flavor.

Sauté Vegetables

Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the shredded carrots and sliced mushrooms. Sauté these vegetables for about 5 minutes or until softened.

Add Spinach

Add the baby spinach to the pan and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted completely. Remove the pan from heat.

Combine Potatoes and Peppers

Stir in the roasted red pepper strips and frozen diced potatoes with the sautéed vegetables until all ingredients are well combined.

Transfer to Baking Dish

Transfer the vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the base of the dish.

Add Cheese Layer

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the vegetable mixture, ensuring even coverage.

Prepare Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, half-and-half, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the ingredients are well-blended. Pour this mixture evenly over the vegetables and cheese in the baking dish.

Bake the Casserole

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bake is fully cooked.

Cool and Serve

Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes to set. Slice into portions and serve warm.

Notes

To make this dish gluten-free, ensure that the frozen diced potatoes and shredded cheddar cheese are certified gluten-free, as some brands may include additives containing gluten. Additionally, verify that the half-and-half and any other processed ingredients are labeled gluten-free. With these adjustments, this egg bake can be enjoyed by those avoiding gluten.
