Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a 13×9" baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bacon and cook until golden brown and crispy, 5-6 minutes. Remove from the pan using a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon grease.

In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, poblano pepper and shallot and cook over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and arugula and cook until the arugula has wilted, 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and add the cooked bacon, stirring until combined.

Pour the vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly over the bottom.

Whisk the eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper together until well combined, then pour the mixture over the bacon and vegetables. Rap the pan gently to evenly distribute.

Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and set in the center.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Crisp Your Bacon Perfectly 🥓
Cook bacon in a skillet until it's just crispy, then crumble it into bite-sized pieces and reserve the rendered fat to sauté your vegetables for deeper flavor throughout the casserole.
Prevent Soggy Bottoms 🛡️
Layer diced bread or toast cubes at the bottom of your buttered casserole dish to absorb excess moisture and create a textured base that stays crispy.
The Overnight Soak Method ⏰
Prepare the casserole completely the night before, cover it tightly, and refrigerate; this allows flavors to meld and lets bread absorb the custard evenly for a perfectly set texture when baked.
Temperature Check for Doneness 🌡️
Insert a knife or toothpick near the center—it should come out clean with no jiggling custard; the casserole will continue cooking slightly after removal from the oven due to carryover heat.
Balance Vegetables for Even Cooking 🌶️
Dice all peppers and shallots into uniform small pieces and sauté poblano and bell peppers slightly before adding to ensure they cook through evenly while the delicate arugula is stirred in raw just before serving for freshness.
