Ingredients:

  • butternut squash (cubed) – 400g
  • bacon (chopped) – 200g

While the onion is cooking, whisk together the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cubed butternut squash, cooked bacon, sautéed onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped fresh thyme to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.

Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.

This Butternut Squash and Bacon Breakfast Casserole is a flavor-packed dish that combines the sweetness of butternut squash with the savory goodness of bacon and cheddar cheese.
