Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare your Crockpot Express by lightly greasing the inner pot with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack all 8 eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and smooth.
- Add milk to the whisked eggs and continue to mix until the liquid is fully incorporated and slightly frothy.
- Dice the bell peppers and onions into small, uniform pieces, approximately 1/4 inch in size to ensure even distribution throughout the egg loaf.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper into the egg mixture, stirring to ensure even seasoning.
- Fold in the shredded cheese and diced vegetables, gently mixing to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Pour the entire egg mixture into the prepared Crockpot Express inner pot, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even surface.
- Close the lid securely and set the Crockpot Express to the "Egg" or "Steam" function, cooking for 25-30 minutes.
- Once cooking is complete, allow the egg loaf to rest for 5 minutes before carefully removing from the pot.
- Slice the egg loaf into portions and serve hot, garnishing with additional herbs or cheese if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time in the morning, you can chop the bell peppers and onions the night before. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a quick assembly in the morning.
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to get creative! Add in your favorite vegetables, such as spinach or mushrooms, or switch up the cheese for a different flavor profile.
- Check for Doneness: Cooking times may vary based on your specific Crockpot Express model. It’s a good idea to check the egg loaf a few minutes before the suggested cooking time to ensure it’s cooked through but not overdone.
- Serve with Style: Garnish your egg loaf with fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, or add a dollop of salsa or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
- Leftover Magic: If you have any leftovers, store them in the fridge and enjoy them cold or reheated for a quick breakfast throughout the week!
