- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Cook Time: 30 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 8 slices 1x
- Category: breakfast
- Method: slow cooker
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (see Notes)
- 1 lb. breakfast sausage
- 1 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, or to taste
Instructions
- On medium high heat, brown the sausage, remove and drain on paper towels.
- Sauté the peppers in the drippings left from the sausage (or you can just cook them both together if you like).
- Whisk eggs and cream in a bowl until blended.
- Butter or grease your slow cooker, then pour in the egg mixture.
- Stir in the meat and veggies, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Reserve the cheese for later.
- Cover with the lid and heat on high for 30 minutes. Once the eggs are set, sprinkle with cheese and leave the lid on just until the cheese melts.
Notes
I highly recommend using heavy cream for this recipe, but half and half or milk will work fine - you just might lose some of that dreamy creaminess!
You can substitute cooked and crumbled bacon for the sausage if you prefer. 5-6 slices of bacon works well in this recipe.
