Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz white mushrooms sliced
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1/2 cup red onion chopped
- 1 medium red bell pepper chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped
- 16 oz frozen shredded hash browns
- 10 eggs
- 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk milk of choice
- 4 tbsp Sriracha or hot sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese of choice (I used Pepper Jack)
Instructions
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375ºF if you are baking the casserole immediately.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for 4 minutes or until they start to turn brown. Add onions, garlic, and bell peppers and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add in the baby spinach and allow to wilt. Remove veggies from heat and set aside to cool.
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Lay the shredded potatoes in the bottom of the dish and press evenly to spread out. Add the cooled veggies over the potatoes and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add eggs, milk, hot sauce, and salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture over the prepared veggies. Sprinkle the cheese over the top.
- Bake the egg bake, uncovered, until the cheese melts and the top begins to get golden brown, approximately 30-35 minutes. Allow the casserole to cool for at least 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
*Interested in making ahead, but cooking fresh? Prepare the casserole as directed, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight or as required (not to exceed 24 hours). Allow it to come to room temperature for 20 minutes before baking.
