Equipment

- - Whisk

Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 cup cooked ham diced, can substitute with sausage, bacon, or veggies
- 1/4 cup green bell pepper diced
- 1/4 cup onion diced
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings Hot sauce, chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley), or others as preferred
Instructions
- Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth.
- Add shredded cheddar cheese, diced ham (or other meat), diced green bell pepper, and diced onion into the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into the prepared crockpot. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, until the egg mixture is set and no longer jiggly.
- Check doneness by inserting a fork or knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the casserole is done; otherwise cook an additional 30 minutes and check again.
- Turn off the crockpot and let the casserole cool slightly before slicing and serving.
- Serve with desired toppings such as fresh herbs, hot sauce, avocado, or Greek yogurt.
Notes
