Ingredients
For the Casserole:

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
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
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.
Cook Sweet Potatoes:Â 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
Layer Ingredients:Â Spread the cooked sweet potato mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle chopped spinach and diced ham over the sweet potatoes.
Whisk Eggs and Milk:Â In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Pour Egg Mixture:Â 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
Add Cheese:Â Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake:Â 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
Cool and Garnish:Â Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Serve Warm:Â Slice into squares and serve warm. Pair with sliced avocado, salsa, or your favorite breakfast sides for a complete meal.
