PREP TIME: 10 minutes
COOK TIME: 1 hours 0 minutes

Ingredients
12 large eggs
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded and chopped
1 cup fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or jack cheese, divided
2 cups frozen hash browns, defrosted
Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Spray a 9" x 13" glass baking dish liberally with cooking spray.

Heat oil in a large, nonstick skillet to medium-high on the stove top. Add onion and bell pepper and stir to coat all of the veggies with the oil. Cook until the onions are just beginning to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. Add spinach or kale and cook for 2 minutes until the greens wilt. Add garlic and cook for one more minute. Remove veggies from the pan and let cool for a few minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt and pepper. Add onion/pepper mixture and 1 cup of the cheese; fold gently to combine.

Arrange the hash browns in the bottom of your baking dish in an even layer. Pour the egg mixture over the top and use a spatula to spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup cheese over the eggs.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the eggs are set. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
