salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Rub a 13×9 baking dish with butter.
Layer half of the potato slices in dish, overlapping slightly.
Season with salt and pepper.

Next, sprinkle shredded cheeses and bacon.
Layer the rest of the potato slices on top, overlapping slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, salt and pepper.

Bake for 75 to 90 minutes, or until custard is cooked and set.
Let rest 20 minutes before cutting and serving.

This recipe is from a blogger that I follow. This is the perfect lunch! You have a bit of carbs, good oil from the avo, some tangy cheese and some flavorful cilantro!

Ingredients

2 cups potato, diced

1/2 avocado

1 1/2 tsp lime juice

garlic powder

cilantro

salt

Romano cheese, shredded

Servings: 2-3 servings

Place the diced potatoes in a small pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil until the potatoes are fork-tender. Drain the potatoes. In another bowl, mash the avocado and stir in the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, and salt. Stir the potatoes into the avocado mixture. Top with romano cheese and serve immediately. Or pack for lunch for the next day. Enjoy!
