INGREDIENTS

For the Potatoes

  • 3 Yukon Gold potatoes (about 1 pound), chopped into ¼-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

For the Casserole

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1¼ teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing the baking dish
  • ½ medium yellow onion, chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

Roast the Potatoes

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Spread the chopped potatoes onto the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and several grinds of black pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Arrange in an even layer and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender and golden brown.

Prepare the Casserole

  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 8 minutes, until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the spinach and half the green onions, tossing until the spinach just wilts.

Assemble and Bake

  • Spread the roasted potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese, then layer the sautéed vegetables on top.
  • Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables, then top with the remaining ½ cup of cheese and the reserved green onions.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Enjoy!
