Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp of Melted Butter
1 Tsp of Butter
1/2 Small Yellow Onion, Diced
1/2 Medium Bell Pepper, Diced
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

DIRECTIONS:
For this recipe, you'll need a:
• Small baking dish (8x8x2 or 11x7x2 work great)
• Skillet pan
• Medium mixing bowl
• Whisk
• Conventional oven
• Stovetop
1. Preheat the oven to 375℉ and lightly coat the baking dish with a non-stick cooking spray.
2. Place the skillet over a medium heat on the stove and add 1 tsp of butter.
3. Once the butter is melted, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook them until they are tender and set them aside.
4. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 egg, and 2 tbsp of melted butter until smooth. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the mixture.
5. In the same bowl, whisk together the remaining 5 eggs and 1/2 cup of milk until smooth. Once done, add the peppers, onions, and diced ham to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
6. Pour mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
7. Place the baking dish in the oven to bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick or fork comes out clean when you pierce it.
8. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before cutting it into 6 evenly-sized pieces. Then, enjoy or save each portion for later in the fridge! The casserole can be good for up to 5-6 days.
