How to make egg casserole?

This dish is a great option for anyone that enjoys a classic and simple breakfast. The internet has lots of recipes for egg casserole baked in oven. However, I have a liking to this one easy egg casserole recipe to make this delicious dish. And here’s how to make egg casserole in oven.

1 Get Ingredients

Go to the store and buy 12 eggs, cheese, seasonings (such as salt, onions, pepper and oregano), sausage (I prefer turkey sausage because it’s leaner), spinach, bell peppers and mushrooms, and a 9×13 in tray.

2 Prepare

Start by cracking the eggs into a large bowl, be careful not to drop in any shells. Whisk the eggs together and start dicing your vegetables. Cut the bell pepper in half and dice it into small pieces. Either use whole pieces of mushrooms or dice them up as well. Add your peppers, spinach, mushrooms and cheese to the egg mixture.  Add in the seasoning into the mixture too. Then pour the mixture into the pan and season everything thoroughly. If you want to retain moisture, cover the pan in foil or set the pan on top of another pan with water in it to create steam.

3 Bake

Set the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the egg casserole for 30 minutes. Once it is done, take it out and check the casserole to make sure it’s cooked by inserting a knife in the middle, if it comes back clean, it’s cooked! Let it cool for about 10 minutes and enjoy!
