# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Grab your slow cooker insert and coat it inside with a swipe of butter or a spray of non-stick oil. You really don't want your food to stick and make cleanup a pain.
02 -
Want extra flavor? Toss the onion bits into a small pan with a dab of butter or oil and stir them around on medium heat for a few minutes until soft. Let 'em cool down after.
03 -
Crack your eggs in a big bowl, add milk, toss in garlic powder, pepper, salt, and thyme if you're in the mood. Whisk it all together till it's smooth and blended.
04 -
Gently mix in the diced ham, cheddar, those sautéed onions, and any veggies like spinach or bell peppers. Just make sure everything's kind of spread out in the mix.
05 -
Tip your egg mixture into the greased slow cooker. Smooth it out a bit so everything's lying even.
06 -
Pop the lid on. Set to low for 4 to 5 hours or crank it to high for 2 to 3 hours. Wait until the middle feels set and solid. Don’t peek for at least the first hour or you'll lose heat.
07 -
Let it chill for around ten minutes, then cut into wedges. Serve while it's warm and feel free to toss some parsley on top if you want.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Great for prepping ahead. Stash leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days, reheat quick for breakfast.
02 -
Sub in any cheese or add your fave cooked bacon, sausage, or veggies to mix things up.
