Farmer's Market Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients: 

3 cups shredded potatoes/hash browns

9 Eggs

1/3 cup milk (unsweetened almond milk or low-fat dairy)

1/4 cup shredded cheese + 2 Tbsp for sprinkling on top

1/2 cup onion, diced

1/2 cup green peppers, diced

1/2 cup mushrooms, chopped

1/2 cup shredded kale

2 garlic cloves, minced

1-2 Tbsp olive oil

Salt & pepper to taste

Optional: Garnish with fresh tomatoes & parsley

Directions:

For this recipe, you can either use an 8" cast-iron skillet or a regular skillet then transfer into a casserole dish before baking. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 

1. Warm a drizzle of olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the shredded potatoes (hash browns) and cook until brown on top. If using cast-iron skillet, flatten hash browns on bottom to form "crust". If using casserole dish, spray bottom with non-stick cooking spray then spread the hash browns out flat. 

2. In separate skillet saute the onions, garlic, peppers, and mushrooms for a few minutes (until onions are translucent) then sprinkle them evenly on top of the hash brown layer. 

3. In mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, salt & pepper. Toss in the shredded kale. Pour egg mixture on top of vegetable and hash brown layers. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of shredded cheese on top. 

4. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Top with fresh tomatoes and parsley. Enjoy!
