Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Brush a 2-quart baking dish with butter. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach and thyme; cook until spinach wilts and darkens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add potatoes and milk; season with pepper.
- Simmer until milk thickens and reduces slightly and potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife but still retain their shape, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool completely. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk eggs with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and nutmeg. Stir cooled potato mixture and half of cheese into eggs.
- Transfer to prepared baking dish and cover with parchment-lined foil. (If assembling the day before, wrap the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake). Bake casserole, covered, 30 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle evenly with remaining half of cheese, and continue baking until set and golden brown in places, 15 to 25 minutes more (if the top is browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let cool slightly before serving.

Something I dashed off tonight for dinner. I'm still working on the details to fine-tune this recipe, especially since I don't exactly remember how I made it tonight. As time goes by, I'll edit the recipe to correct some of the errors that are almost certainly here. Feel free to post your own thoughts and concerning and personal modifications to this very basic recipe.

Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet at medium-high heat.
- Add the potatoes and use your spatula to make sure the potatoes are fairly evenly coated with oil.
- Lightly grease a 13 X 9 baking pan.
- Let the potatoes cook about 5-7 minutes. Check the bottom. If the bottom of the potatoes is brown, turn the potatoes. Leave the potatoes to cook another 5-7 minutes, and then recheck them. Make sure you keep the turning to a minimum.
- Beat the 12 eggs in a large bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper and beat together.
- When the potatoes have been thoroughly cooked, remove them from the pan and arrange them evenly on the bottom of the 13 X 9 baking pan.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top.
- Add any of the optional ingredients.
- Cover with the cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this recipe, as they are starchy and hold their shape well. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they may become mushy if overcooked.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender but still firm: This will help them hold their shape in the casserole.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give the casserole a rich, flavorful taste. You can also use a blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the casserole tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly: This will ensure that the casserole is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
Conclusion:
This cheesy potato egg bake is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. It is perfect for a crowd, and it can be made ahead of time. The casserole is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes and eggs. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this cheesy potato egg bake is sure to become a family favorite.
