Breakfast casseroles or quiches?

[VolunteerChin22]

I am hoping to find a good recipe for a breakfast casserole or quiche to make for Christmas morning...We are into sausage, ham, tomatoes, bacon, you name it...only thing i am not crazy about are onions and mushrooms but I am sure I could alter it if yours has some in it...:thumbsup: Any one have one?

Here's a recipe that is absolutely delicious. I got the recipe from a co-worker who sometimes makes it to share with all of us on holiday mornings for those of us who have to work. I have put it together the night before, stored it in the fridge and just popped it in the oven the next morning to cook. I'm telling you, this is a great tasting breakfast. I've also made it with bacon and also with a combination of bacon and sausage.

Breakfast Casserole

4 eggs
6 slices bread cut in small squares
1 lb. breakfast sausage cooked and drained (the loose kind in a plastic tube)
2 cups milk
1 tsp mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 lb. Velveeta


Mix all ingredients together and put in a casserole dish sprayed with cooking spray. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Oh, I'll have to get you our favorite over here. It is deeeelish! My mom calls it a breakfast frittata (sp?) and she makes it in a casserole dish. Then we cut ourselves a piece and some people eat it plain or with ketchup... but I like to put it in a tortilla for a breakfast burrito!

Chile Relleño Casserole

1 4oz can diced green chilies
2 1/2 C grated cheese (Jack and Cheddar)
2 Eggs beaten

1/2 C flour
1 1/2 C milk

Combine salt, flour, eggs and milk -- mix well. Stir in chilies and
grated cheese. Pour in buttered casserole and bake at 350 degrees for
45 to 50 minutes, until golden crust forms on top. Serves 1 to 6. May
be doubled and baked in 9 x 13" pan - bake about 1 hour at 350
degrees.

Mmm, Meanie, yours looks good. I'm going to have to try that one. Love your new tagline too. That's great!

This one is from my mother-in-law. Its not very specific, but more a guideline to throw whatever you want in there.

8 - 10 large eggs (or equivalent in egg beaters) lightly beaten

Add a little milk - maybe a cup or a little less - usually add more milk if using less eggs.

Stir in veggies - any combination desired:

Fresh torn spinach
Chopped Onions
Sliced mushrooms
Cherry or grape tomatoes - halved

Add seasonings:
Basil - maybe a couple of tablespoons or your favorite herb - sometimes I use rosemary, thyme, oregano
Parsley - maybe a tablespoon
Sometimes I add fresh garlic - if so I may sauté it and onions a bit first

Salt & Pepper to taste - if desired - I use more herbs than salt, but generally add some pepper

Sometimes I use broccoli, or colored peppers, diced or shredded potatoes - just whatever you want.

You can even add bacon crumbles or diced ham if you want meat in it.

Add some shredded cheese (about 8 oz.) - I've used mozzarella or co-jack or cheddar or Swiss - just depends on what we have and what other ingredients I'm using. I sometimes mix cheddar or co-jack and mozzarella. If I'm doing Italian seasonings such as with peppers, tomatoes & onions as the main veggies then I will add shredded parmesan or the 3 cheese - Romano, parmesan, asagio (sp?) variety along with mozzarella.

Bake in greased 9x11 pan for approximately 45 minutes at 350 degrees.

I like to do a mediterranean style variation with mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, feta cheese, green onions and herbs de provence.

I forgot to specify a 9"x11" glass baking dish works best though you can put it in a more square Corning Ware sort of baking dish.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll let the person know who I got the recipe from. I am going to make some myself in a few minutes to bring over to my daughter's house for breakfast this morning.

My mom used to make an awesome casserole for breakfast a few years back. I'll have to see if I can find the recipe for it. Not that it does much good for Christmas morning now, but you never know. lol

I know this is an old thread, but I just love making these mini sausage/mushroom quiches. I go to the gym everyday before work so I'm always looking for a quick, portable breakfast since I go straight into the office. I just pop these in the microwave when I get to work and 1 minute later...heaven. And they freeze great! I make them almost every Sunday for the week. (Recipe from eatingwell.com)

INGREDIENTS

8 ounces turkey breakfast sausage, removed from casing and crumbled into small pieces
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup sliced scallions
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
5 eggs
3 egg whites
1 cup 1% milk (I used unsweetened almond milk and they were just a little flatter but great!)​

PREPARATION

1. Position rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Coat a nonstick muffin tin generously with cooking spray (see Tip).
2. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Add oil to the pan. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to the bowl with the sausage. Let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in scallions, cheese and pepper.
3. Whisk eggs, egg whites and milk in a medium bowl. Divide the egg mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle a heaping tablespoon of the sausage mixture into each cup.
4. Bake until the tops are just beginning to brown, 25 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Place a rack on top of the pan, flip it over and turn the quiches out onto the rack. Turn upright and let cool completely.

TIPS & NOTES
Make Ahead Tip: Individually wrap in plastic and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, remove plastic, wrap in a paper towel and microwave on High for 30 to 60 seconds.

A good-quality nonstick muffin tin works best for this recipe. If you don't have one, line a regular muffin tin with foil baking cups.

This is as close to the one my godmother makes as I can find, but she skips the bread and puts an entire 2 cups of shredded cheese (Colby, Co-Jack, Cheddar-Jack, anything orange, and for us the sharper the better ) over the top.
