Instructions

  • Tips

    • Make Mini Avocado Breakfast Bites!  Follow the recipe to make the egg mixture as shown, except reduce the milk to 1/2 cup.  Pour the egg mixture into 12 (2 3/4-inch) lightly greased muffin-pan cups.  Bake at 325°F. for 25 minutes or until the egg bites are set.  Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and serve.
    • Make ahead and bake later!  Prepare the egg mixture as shown above and pour into the casserole.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.  Uncover and bake as directed.
  • Step 1

    Heat the oven to 350°F.  Cook the bacon in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat until crisp.  Drain the bacon on paper towels and crumble the bacon.  Pour off all but 1 tablespoon drippings.  Add the spinach and red pepper to the drippings in the skillet and cook over medium-high heat until the spinach is wilted.  Remove the skillet from the heat.  Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

  • Step 2

    Beat the eggs, milk, 1/2 cup salsa and cheese in a bowl.  Stir in the spinach mixture, bacon and tortillas, if desired.  Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole.  Pour the egg mixture into the casserole.

  • Step 3

    Bake for 30 minutes or until set.  Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.  Serve with the remaining 1/2 cup salsa and sriracha and sour cream, if desired.
