Ingredients

  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 12 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup cream
  • 2 cups white cheddar cheese shredded
  • ¾ cup sundried tomato sliced
  • ½ cup basil thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 2 cups black beans cooked, drained
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 cup onion small dice
  • 1 cup green bell pepper small dice
  • ½ cup green onions sliced thinly

Instructions

  • Preheat convection oven to 350 degrees. If using a regular oven, preheat to 375 degrees. Oil a 2” ½ hotel pan or a 9x13 casserole or baking dish with ½ the olive oil.
  • Combine the eggs, cream, 1 ½ cups of the cheese, sundried tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Gently fold in the beans.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium high. Add the onions and peppers and sauté for 2- 3 minutes. Add to the bowl with the egg mixture and fold to combine.
  • Pour mixture into the prepared pan and bake for 15-20 minutes until the sides start to set and cook.
  • Sprinkle the green onions and remaining cheese over the top and return to oven and bake 15-20 minute longer, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  • Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, and cut into desired portions.

Notes

This casserole can be chilled and reheated. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees to an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
