I am a big fan of making quiche but would like to make a casserole for my grandson's graduation brunch.
Will this delicious looking recipe work in a 9x11 glass pyrex pan/
Thinking it would be eaier to serve for this event.
Yes, you can use a 9 x 11-inch baking dish as long as it's high-sided (about 3 inches tall).
Excellent with some modifications 🙂 I used toasted leftover oven roasted broccoli that had been tossed in olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper and roasted in oven at 400 until slightly crisp (approx 40 mins) then also cooked my hashbrowns until slightly crisp in oven at 400 for approx 35 mins. I also added salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder and smoked paprika to season. It was delicious!
NO mention of salt at all in this recipie - only pepper. That commenter is right im sure it would be bland without salt.
My family absolutely loves this dish!!!! I line my baking dish with parchment paper so I don’t have the added calories of the butter. I also use Jimmy Deans hot pork sausage and add a tablespoon of my Trader Joe’s everyday seasoning to the egg mixture. It is absolutely delicious!!!!!
I’ve made this twice and it’s fantastic. I’m wondering how it would turn out with milk instead of cream (as I’m making this at a vacation house and trying to bring as few grocery items as possible). I’m sure it wouldn’t be as good, but would it be totally ruined?
I made it with almond milk last night as my husband is lactose intolerant. It was delish! I also subbed the hashbrowns for rice. Very good, very versatile recipe. Thank you!
Lesley, thank you so much for such helpful feedback! So good to know this recipe worked with almond milk. Glad you enjoyed the recipe! 🙂
Can you mix it up the night before and keep in the fridge until you bake it in the morning?
Crystal, I wouldn't do it for food safety reasons and I also think it will affect the texture in a negative way.
It’s bland...need to add more salt. The food is presentable but taste wise is just bland...def need to add more salt or more spices so the food has the taste.
Has anyone tried freezing this?
Would it be best to freeze raw, partial bake, or bake it completely and just reheat after its thawed?
I haven't tried freezing this casserole, but other breakfast casseroles I've frozen have worked just fine to bake it completely before freezing. I would worry about freezing it raw because it would be more likely to grow bacteria while thawing. A partial bake before freezing would probably be just fine, too, especially if you think it might dry out when reheated, but I think with eggs it will be best to bake it as much as you are comfortable with before freezing.
This was delicious! I substituted almond milk for the cream and used torn up Morningstar veggie sausages. It turned out great! Thanks for the recipe!
Wow what a great easy to follow recipe! During quarantine I'm finding myself cooking more to preserve health and also met with the challenge of not always having ingredients on hand. That being said I had a head of broccoli and happened to have frozen hash browns already in freezer. I made a few adaptations - I put @ 60% of the potatoes in the pan and pre-cooked in oven to form a 'crust'. Since I'm vegetarian I used FieldRoast sausage and added it at the end of cooking the onions. I also added more egg...cuz I like an egg-ier casserole. It turned out great - thank you!
I would like to cook in a crock pot while we are at Mass on Eater morning. How long would you recommend cooking this using a crock pot? 2.5 hours on low?
Love this! I use turkey sausage and skip the onions. Roasted the broccoli. A delicious dish. Can you confirm the calorie count? Seems high with 10 servings.
This is ,my first time making this recipe, I added diced red pepper, we will see if I win the cook off contest at church ! Smells and looks very yummy !
So glad you're making this recipe! Enjoy!
