Simple Egg Casserole
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
12 Eggs (preferable organic and free range)
*2-4 vegetables of choice (greens, onions, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, broccoli, sweet potato, or any other vegetable)
Breakfast meat -bacon, ham, or sausage (Optional)
Seasonings of choice
Salt and Pepper to taste
*tip- Use a lot of vegetables and Meat! The layer in your 9x13 dish should be at least an inch thick. Remember, this is feeding 6-8 servings of people. The higher your ratio of yummy toppings to eggs, the less likely the casserole is to have that "bouncy" egg consistency.
For example, the picture contains one 5 oz package of kale, 1 large sweet potato, 2 onions. Another combination we enjoy is 1 medium sized zucchini, 2 bell peppers, and an 8 oz package of sliced mushrooms.
Directions
If using meat, cook and remove from pan. Sauté vegetables together until soft. In a large bowl mix meat, vegetables, and a dozen cracked eggs. Add in desired seasonings. Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 glass baking dish. Cook at 350 for 40 minutes. Remove when eggs are cooked through.
