Place a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until it bubbles. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped broccoli and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Lightly season the vegetables with additional salt and pepper.

Gently press the vegetables into an even layer with the back of a spatula or spoon and turn off the heat. Sprinkle the cheese over the vegetables, then add the bacon.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently shake to remove any gaps around the vegetables. Let the residual heat cook the eggs slightly, about 2 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Check doneness by slightly cutting the center with a knife; the eggs should not be runny enough to fill the cut. Let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
