Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
Toss the cubed sweet potato, red pepper, onion, and mushrooms with the olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 14-18 minutes or until the sweet potato is tender.
While the vegetables cook, whisk together the eggs, half and half, remaining salt, pepper, and thyme.
Once done, transfer the roasted vegetables to a 13x9" baking dish, or large casserole dish and spread evenly over the bottom.Mix in the chopped spinach, then sprinkle the goat cheese crumbles over the top.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and gently shake the pan if needed to allow it to distribute throughout the pan.
Bake for 30-40 minutes or until the center of the casserole is cooked through. Cut the casserole in 12-15 slices and serve warm.
Notes
Substitutions:
Onion – Yellow is preferred, but white onion will work too.
Bell Pepper –Any color bell pepper will work just fine.
Eggs – But small eggs will work too, you may just need to up the quantity by one or two.
Half and Half – I like half and half because I keep it on hand, and it will add additional richness, but regular milk or heavy cream can be used too just depending on what you have and how creamy you want the egg and veggie breakfast casserole to be.
Spinach – If using full-size spinach, I recommend chopping them up so that it is easier to serve and eat. You can also use frozen, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze ALL of the liquid out so as to not get a runny casserole.
