Ingredients

16 ounces bacon
1 green bell pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
1/2 jalapeno, seeds removed and chopped
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, chopped
4 green onions, stalks chopped
12 eggs
1 cup half-and-half
2 cups diced potatoes, diced hash browns
1 1/2 cups shredded potatoes (hash browns)
1 cup diced cheddar cheese cube
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/2 teaspoon lawry's seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon yellow mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika

Method

Set your oven to 350 and coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Prepare the bacon as directed on its packaging, then chop it once it has cooled.
Place the 12 eggs in a large bowl and whisk them together with the cup of half-and-half.
Incorporate the 1/2 teaspoon of Lawry's seasoning, black pepper, salt, yellow mustard powder, and paprika into the egg mixture.
Add the 2 cups of diced potatoes, 1 1/2 cups of shredded hash browns, the cup of cheddar cheese cubes, and one cup of the shredded cheddar to the bowl, mixing thoroughly.
Set aside a half cup of the fresh vegetables and herbs and 1/2 cup of the chopped bacon for later. Stir the remaining vegetables, herbs, and bacon into the bowl.
Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared dish. Scatter the reserved bacon, vegetables, herbs, and the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Bake for 50 minutes or until the centre is fully set, covering the dish with foil halfway through the cooking time.
Let the casserole stand for a short while to cool slightly before you cut and serve it.
