Ingredients

For the Casserole:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced

  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

  • 1 cup cooked ham, diced (great for using leftover holiday ham!)

  • 8 large eggs

  • 1 cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

Optional Garnish:

  • Fresh parsley, chopped

  • Sliced avocado or salsa for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

  2. Sauté the Veggies: Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add diced onion and cook until softened about 3-5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Cook Sweet Potatoes: Add diced sweet potatoes to the skillet and cook until tender, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Casserole

  1. Layer Ingredients: Spread the cooked sweet potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chopped spinach and diced ham over the sweet potatoes.

  2. Whisk Eggs and Milk: In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. Pour Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ingredients in the baking dish. Use a spatula to gently press down on the ingredients to ensure they are submerged in the egg mixture.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

  1. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

  2. Bake: Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Cool and Garnish: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

  2. Serve Warm: Slice into squares and serve warm. Pair with sliced avocado, salsa, or your favorite breakfast sides for a complete meal.
