Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 eggs, lightly beaten
1-2 Tbsp sour cream, lite or plain yogurt
1 tsp herb mixture (italian seasoning works)
1/4 tsp ground pepper, or to taste
1/4 tsp sea salt, or to taste
1/4 tsp smoked paprika
1/4 c feta cheese, crumbled
1-2 spritz of cooking spray or olive oil
4 oz pancetta, minced
1/2 c onion, chopped
1/2 c yellow, red or green bell pepper
1 fresh jalapeño, seeded and minced
1 c zucchini, quartered and sliced
1 tsp minced garlic
1 c left-over hash brown potatoes
tabasco sauce or other hot sauce to serve

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, herbal seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper; whisk until well blended. Add 1/2 of the feta cheese, whisk and set aside.
2. In a small, oven-proof skillet over medium heat, spritz with cooking spray and add pancetta. Cook until it starts to crisp; then set aside onto paper toweling.
3. Add onion to skillet and sauté for a couple minutes until starting to soften. Add peppers and zucchini and cook for 3 - 5 minutes. Return pancetta then add garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Do not let garlic brown. Add potatoes and a few splashes of hot sauce, if desired. Stir everything together gently and cook until potatoes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
4. Lower heat and pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir everything together. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and sprinkle with additional paprika. (Check out NOTE below!!)
5. In a minute or two, when edges appear to become cooked, transfer skillet to oven. Bake until eggs fluff up and center is not completely set - about 8 minutes.
6. Broil for 1 - 2 minutes until cheese is melty. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes to firm up If you did not add hot sauce, have it available for individual use.
7. NOTE: If you are making this in a non-oven safe container, it will need to cook longer! I used a glass casserole recently and it needed about 20 minutes.

1/4 cup(s) light sour cream
1/2 tablespoon(s) italian seasoning
1 teaspoon(s) hot paprika
1 teaspoon(s) ground himalayan sea salt, divided
freshly ground black pepper, to taste (i always use mixed peppercorns)
5 ounce(s) goat cheese, crumbled and divided
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
1 1/2 cup(s) pancetta, chopped
2 cup(s) leeks, washed and chopped
1/2 cup(s) red peppers, chopped
1/2 cup(s) yellow or orange peppers, chopped
1/2 cup(s) poblano peppers, chopped
10-11 medium asparagus spears, woody ends removed and cut into 1-inch long
2 large cloves garlic, pressed
2 cup(s) cooked potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1/2-inch pieces
3-5 dash(es) hot sauce
smoked paprika, sprinkled on top

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, Italian seasoning, hot paprika, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper; whisk until well blended. Add 2/3 goat cheese, whisk and set aside.
In a 12-inch cast iron over medium heat, add oil and when hot, add pancetta. Cook until it starts to crisp, 6 to 7 minutes; transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
Return skillet to burner and add leeks; sauté for 2 minutes. Add peppers and add a pinch of sea salt; cook for 3 minutes. Throw in asparagus and cook just enough to remove bitterness about 2 minutes. Return pancetta then add garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add potato cubes until gently stir. Add a few splashes of hot sauce, stir and cook until potatoes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
Turn off the heat and whisk egg mixture before pouring in the vegetable mixture; stir to blend. Drop the remaining cheese on top and sprinkle with smoked paprika.
One to two minutes later when the outside edges start to thicken, transfer to preheated oven. Cook until eggs are puffy but center jiggles a little, about 10 to 13 minutes. Turn broil on and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat to cool off, about 15 minutes. Makes 8 servings
