Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Whisk
9x13 inch baking dish
Frying pan
Cutting board
Knife
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese 246g
8 large eggs
½ cup heavy cream 120ml
6 slices bacon, cooked and chopped 168g
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 113g
½ cup chopped spinach 30g
½ medium red bell pepper, diced 60g
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 22g
½ tsp salt 2.5g
¼ tsp ground black pepper 0.5g
¼ tsp garlic powder 0.6g
¼ tsp onion powder 0.6g
Non-stick cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, eggs, and heavy cream. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
Add the cooked, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, and diced red bell pepper to the egg mixture. Stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Give it a final stir to ensure the spices are well mixed in.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese for an extra layer of flavor and a nice golden crust.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the casserole is set in the middle and the top is golden brown.
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before slicing. This allows it to firm up for easier serving.

Notes

For a crispier bacon texture, sprinkle the bacon on top of the casserole halfway through the baking time instead of mixing it in with the other ingredients.

This casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it a great make-ahead breakfast option.
