TNT Breakfast Casserole for One!

[Vanilla Bean]

I found this recipe yesterday. I decided to halve the recipe and just make it for my SO. I ended up having a little piece of it, and it was delicious! This recipe is easy to double for more servings.

Breakfast Casserole for One!

2 slices bacon
4 green onions (scallions)
1/2 tablespoon butter
1 average-sized red bell pepper, diced
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/8 tsp pepper
1 1/4 cups shredded cheddar cheese
salt to taste

1. In medium skillet cook bacon till crisp; drain off drippings and crumble.
2. Wipe pan clean. Cook scallions in butter over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add diced peppers and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more. Remove from heat.
3. In bowl beat together the eggs, milk and pepper. Stir in cheese and the pepper mixture. Pour into a greased 3-cup pan (7x5x1.5-in) or baking dish (I used a glass Pyrex baking dish).
4. Bake at 350° for 45 - 50 minutes (ovens vary), or until puffed and knife inserted comes out clean. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before cutting.

Makes 1-2 servings

Just tried your other "easy casserole" and it was great! I'll have to give this one a try also!

He was hungry, but I had a couple small sqares of it too. It looked too good to pass on. I was going to make a fish taco, until that casserole came out of the oven. I just wish I had taken a better picture of it as it's kind of dark.

I'm just wondering if you have tried this yet. I like to know if anyone "adds" anything to stated recipes, like you did the other breakfast casserole that I posted. That gives me ideas!

Great recipe! I just finished eating it... I didn't have any peppers or cheese, and I had to sub the bacon for ham, but it was still really good. I took a picture, it's on my phone so it kinda stinks but what ever:


It needed a little something else, not sure what but maybe more salt.

I'm planning on doing this once the price of peppers comes down. Right now they are over $2 a pepper. I will definite post when I make it.

Callisto, look in the freezer section at your supermarket for stir-fry peppers. They will be mixed colors, but they'll work fine, and will be much cheaper than the fresh ones are right now.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of looking there. I love peppers and miss them during the winter.
