Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for longer storage. For a crustless version, pour the mixture straight into a greased baking dish. Feel free to substitute ham for cooked sausage or bacon, and add more chiles or red pepper flakes for extra spice. Customize with additional vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
