Recipe type: Breakfast
Ingredients
  • 10 eggs
  • 1 cup fat-free milk
  • 10 pieces of Canadian bacon – these are the small round ones from Costco
  • 10 crimini mushrooms, sliced thinly – Any kind of mushrooms will do
  • 1 red pepper, finely diced – I used two small red peppers
  • ½ red onion, diced thinly
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 oz feta (about ¾ cup)
  • ¼ Cup finely shredded Parmesan for topping
  • Optional: Dried basil or your other favorite spices.
Instructions
  1. Heat a Tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute your diced peppers, mushrooms, onion, garlic and a dash of salt until vegetables start to soften and brown.
  2. Layer the Canadian Bacon along the bottom of the slow cooker. If you prefer – you can dice the Canadian Bacon, but I was sort of envisioning a bottom “crust” – which didn’t actually work.
  3. Pour cooked vegetables on top of Canadian bacon and spread out in a thin layer. Be careful they’ll be hot.
  4. Briskly whisk your eggs and the milk in a separate bowl. Pour over vegetables, spread it evenly.While your vegetables are cooking, get your Crockpot plugged in and turn it on low. Spray the inside of the slow cooker with a non-stick spray or if you’d like you can use butter.
  5. Top with the feta cheese
  6. Cover and cook for about 2 hours. Pay special attention after about an 1.5 hours. It’s really easy to overcook eggs. Depending on your slow cooker and the ingredients you choose, the cooking times can vary. Watch for the middle to “set up” or firm up. You can use a toothpick in the center to feel the consistency of the eggs.
  7. It will close to impossible to pull the whole casserole out of the slow cooker and plate it. It took me some clever maneuvers to do this for photos and there are still areas where it cracked or broke. You might want to consider using some aluminum foil along the bottom with the edges up over the sides, so you can pull it out. Otherwise just spoon it onto a plate.
  8. Garnish with parmesan cheese and enjoy while hot.
