Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil
½ of a yellow onion, diced
8 slices turkey bacon, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
12 eggs (or 6 eggs + 1 cup egg whites)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
2 cups shredded hashbrowns (optional, see note if using frozen hash browns)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
Add olive oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Add the onion and turkey bacon and cook for 5 minutes until the bacon is slightly browned. Add the diced peppers to the skillet and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, add the eggs, salt, garlic powder, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk until well combined. Add the cooled veggie bacon mixture to the whisked eggs and stir together.
Add the hash browns in an even layer in the bottom of the 9x13 pan. Pour the egg mixture on top of the hash browns.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the casserole comes out clean or a food thermometer reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the casserole to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

If you're using frozen hash browns, let them thaw or run them under cold water to thaw them, and then really squeeze out any excess water.
Top with any desired toppings like green onion, hot sauce, avocado, dairy-free cheese, and red pepper flakes.
If you're using frozen hash browns, let them thaw by running them under warm water and squeezing any excess moisture out before adding them to the dish.
This recipe is also a great gluten-free breakfast casserole in addition to being dairy-free. For a vegetarian breakfast casserole, leave out the turkey bacon and consider adding your other favorite veggies to the mixture like mushrooms or chopped spinach.
