Ingredients

For the Casserole

  • 1 cup diced Canadian bacon
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 4 ounces diced cremini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 8 eggs
  • 4 egg whites

For the Cheese Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded part skim mozzarella cheese

For the Topping

  • 1 cup crackers or dry bread crumbs
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

To Make the Cheese Sauce

  • In a small saucepan over medium-high heat melt the butter. Whisk the flour, salt, and pepper into the melted butter and cook for one minute.
  • Slowly whisk in the milk and cook until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Turn the heat down to low and dd in the cheese stirring until it's melted, then remove from the heat.

To Make the Topping

  • Add the cracker or bread to a ziploc bag along with the paprika. Using your hands or a rolling pin crush the crackers or bread crumbs.

To Make the Casserole

  • In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and egg whites.
  • Heat the tablespoon of oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Saute the mushrooms, green onion, and Canadian bacon for 3-5 minutes.
  • Add in the eggs and cook them just until set, stirring often. Fold the cheese sauce into the egg mixture until everything is coated.
  • Spoon the casserole into a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. If you are making the casserole ahead of time cover and refrigerate overnight. Pull the casserole out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before baking.
  • Top the casserole with the crumb topping and bake on the middle rack of the oven at 350° F. for 30 minutes.
