Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Add-ins
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1/2 cup cooked and crumbled bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when the egg mixture is prepared.
- Whisk Eggs and Cream: In a large bowl, whisk together the 6 large eggs and 1/2 cup heavy cream until fully combined and smooth.
- Season the Mixture: Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder to the egg mixture and mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
- Add Cheese and Bacon: Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese and 1/2 cup cooked, crumbled bacon until well incorporated throughout the mixture.
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the egg and cheese mixture evenly into the dish.
- Bake the Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and the top is slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for a few minutes so it sets further, then slice into portions and serve warm.
Notes
- Use any shredded cheese you prefer such as cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend for different flavor profiles.
- Bacon can be substituted with cooked sausage or diced ham for variety.
- This dish can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat before serving.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream and use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
- Make sure not to overcook to avoid rubbery eggs—remove from oven as soon as eggs set.
