Ingredients
1 tsp. fresh ground black pepper
3 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. Frank's hot sauce (optional)
1 cup milk or half & half
12 eggs
1½ cups gruyere cheese, shredded
6 large mushrooms, sliced thin
4 green onions, sliced thin
1 large red pepper, diced
2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
½ lb. bacon, cooked and crumbled (optional - may substitute ham, sausage, Canadian bacon or vegetables)
Step by step
Spray eight 6-oz. ramekins with vegetable spray. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper, and whisk ingredients together until eggs are light and fluffy.
To each ramekin add: 2 tablespoons hash browns, 2 tablespoons bacon, 1 tablespoon mushrooms, 1 teaspoon green onions and 1 tablespoon red peppers. Pour egg mixture over ingredients, distributing it evenly between the eight ramekins. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons gruyere cheese over egg mixture. Arrange ramekins on the Perforated Steamer Tray.

On STEAM mode, steam the egg bake for 28 minutes until eggs are firm, yet moist, and the cheese is melted, but not browned. Remove from Steamer and serve immediately.
