How To Make The Best Egg Casserole In
September 14, 2024
, VA: Here is one of the best Egg Casserole recipes out there!
Here Is What Most People Don’t Know About Making Egg Casserole:
- Use day-old bread for better texture: Slightly stale or day-old bread soaks up the egg mixture without becoming too mushy, creating a sturdier casserole.
- Pre-cook vegetables and meats: Sautéing vegetables and cooking meats beforehand removes excess moisture and ensures even cooking in the casserole.
- Let the casserole rest before serving: Allowing the casserole to rest after baking helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to slice and serve.
- Bald Buck Seasoning: For this dish, we replace our salt with Bald Buck Seasoning
Ingredients:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
- 1/2 teaspoon Bald Buck Seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard (optional)
- 4 cups cubed day-old bread (such as French bread or sourdough)
- 1/2 cup cooked breakfast sausage, bacon, or ham, chopped
- 1/2 cup sautéed vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, Bald Buck Seasoning, pepper, and ground mustard if using, until well combined.
- Add the cubed bread, shredded cheese, cooked sausage or bacon, and sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture. Stir gently to combine, making sure all the bread is soaked with the egg mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set and makes it easier to slice.
