Health benefits of Spinach Bacon Egg Casserole

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

8 eggs
3/4 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 pound bacon
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup minced onion
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 cup finely shredded Asiago cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Beat eggs in a bowl using a fork. Add milk, garlic salt, and black pepper to eggs and beat until fully integrated.
Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined plate and drain grease from skillet. Chop bacon.
Saute red bell pepper and onion in the same skillet over medium-high heat until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
Spread spinach into the bottom of the prepared baking pan; top with bacon and red bell pepper mixture. Pour egg mixture over bacon mixture and sprinkle Monterey Jack cheese and Asiago cheese over egg mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes.
