Equipment

1 8x8 inch pan

Ingredients

1 yellow onion
½ red bell pepper*
2 cups spinach, uncooked
1 lb diced ham
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
12 eggs
¼ cup 2% milk
1 tsp paprika
¼ tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F
Dice the onion and bell pepper. Saute over medium heat with the oil for 3-5 minutes or until onion is translucent.
Chop the spinach.
Whisk the eggs and shred the cheese if not using pre-shredded. Mix the cheese in with the eggs reserving about ¼ cup on the side.
Add the spices to the egg and cheese mixture, combine.
Add the cooked vegetables, diced ham, egg and cheese mixture to a greased 8x8 inch pan. Top with spinach and use a spoon or rubber spatula to combine.
Sprinkle on the remaining cheese and bake for 35-40 minutes.**

Notes

*Use the other half of the bell pepper in this dish if desired or save for another dish. Alternatively, slice it and enjoy it with hummus as a snack.

**Give the pan a wiggle after baking for 35 minutes. If the center is still very runny and jiggly, allow to bake the additional five minutes and check again.
