Additional toppings/garnish

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease a 9x13 baking dish (or similar- I used an 11x11 dish). (If you are preparing this the night before, do not preheat the oven yet).
- Cook bacon and set aside. Crumble when cooled.
- Place a layer of hash browns on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Sprinkle with the onions, red pepper, and spinach.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, basil, thyme, salt and pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight if making ahead, otherwise proceed to next step.
- Sprinkle the casserole with 2/3rds of the crumbled bacon (reserve 1/3 of it for garnish) and the remaining cheese. Bake for 40 minutes or until the eggs are set.
- Sprinkle the casserole with green onions, remaining bacon, and tomatoes before serving.
