Description

This Egg Casserole is the ultimate make-ahead breakfast dish, combining creamy eggs with savory cheese and your choice of add-ins. The custard-like texture sets beautifully in the oven, creating a sliceable and satisfying meal that feeds a crowd. It is ideal for lazy weekend mornings, holiday brunches, or when you need a comforting, protein-rich start to the day. Simple to assemble and incredibly versatile, this recipe allows you to customize with leftover vegetables or meats, ensuring no waste and maximum flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Arrange your desired base ingredients, such as cubed bread, cooked bacon, or sautéed vegetables, evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 2 cups of milk, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until smooth.
  4. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the base ingredients in the baking dish, ensuring all pieces are submerged.
  5. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite cheese blend over the top of the eggs.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes to set the center without browning the top too quickly.
  7. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are puffed, golden brown, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to set properly.
