ingredients

12 eggs
1 cup half-and-half cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 (20 ounce) package Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes with Onion
¹⁄₂ cup bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 cup Baby Spinach, stems removed
¹⁄₃ cup red bell pepper, diced
¹⁄₃ cup mushroom, diced
6 dinner rolls, broken
¹⁄₃ cup ricotta cheese
¹⁄₄ cup parmesan-romano cheese mix, shredded
¹⁄₂ teaspoon kosher salt
¹⁄₄ black pepper

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Get your big oven safe pot out on the stove to heat on medium -- I use my enameled dutch oven.
Melt the butter in the pan over medium heat, add Simply Potatoes Diced Potatoes and Onion, mushrooms and diced red pepper and saute until potatoes lightly browned stirring frequently, aproximately 10 minutes.
Then add your bread, bacon and cleaned [and dry] spinach until it is all coated and looks well distributed. Pat the mixture down gently so its fairly even looking. Whisk your eggs, ricotta, half & half, salt and pepper until fluffy -- you can use blender if you have.
Pour egg mixture over the other components. Don't stir; sprinkle your Parmesan & Romano across the top. Put it in the oven on middle rack uncovered for 45-50 minutes, until it is golden brown the middle is firm looking.
Serve with sliced apple or grapes or a nice salad.

Super easy and delish even for a novice like me. Light and fluffy but substantial enough to satisfy. YUM.

I was skeptical about the bread, but I always follow a new recipe exactly. It was surprisingly good. The layering of the ingredients added a new dimension I wasn't expecting. Excellent! This will be added to the recipe box.
