Ingredients

• 3 tsp avocado oil, divided

• 1 lb APPLEGATE® Naturals Turkey Bacon (2 packs), chopped

• 1/2 onion, chopped

• 1 bell pepper, chopped

• 1 cup sliced mushrooms

• 10 oz frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed

• 3 garlic cloves

• 12 eggs

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or any dairy-free milk

• 1 lb shredded potato, squeezed (or 2 cups thawed frozen hash browns)

• 1 tsp dried sage

• 1/2 tsp sea salt

• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

PREHEAT the oven to 350 °F, and grease a 9x13 baking dish.
HEAT a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Add turkey bacon and cook, stirring until evenly browned, for about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
IN the same skillet, add 2 tsp avocado oil. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms, and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender.
ADD spinach and garlic, and cook for 1-2 minutes while breaking up the spinach so it disperses evenly. Remove from heat.
IN a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Add shredded potatoes, sage, salt, and pepper. Add turkey bacon and the cooked vegetables. Fold to combine.
TRANSFER to the prepared baking pan.
BAKE for 45-55 minutes until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
COOL for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
