Preheat oven to 400°F.
Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Add shredded potatoes, onions, and peppers. Mix together.
Add 2 cups of cheese and mix again.
Break eight eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Stir in milk, salt, pepper, and garlic. Whisk together again.
Pour the egg mixture over the potato, onion, and pepper mixture in the baking dish.
Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center of the casserole is set.
Serve warm.
Use pre-diced onions and peppers to save time during preparation.
Ensure the center of the casserole is fully set before removing it from the oven to avoid undercooked eggs.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for breakfast the next day.
