I love baking egg casseroles for brunch. Filled with fresh baby spinach, roasted peppers, and sauteed mushrooms and garlic, this egg bake recipe is a delicious way to add vegetables to your meal. Save time with pre-sliced mushrooms and jarred roasted peppers, just drain the peppers well before adding to the pan.
The key to this gluten-free egg casserole: slice the potato as thin as possible. Place the slices in the bottom and sides of the baking dish, overlapping to fill over empty spaces. Layers of baby spinach and goat cheese on top of the potatoes will support the egg and veggie mixture, and then cook down into the casserole.
Egg and Potato Casserole Ingredients
- 1 large russet potato, peeled and cut into very thin slices
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup roasted pepper (any color), diced
- 9 eggs
- ¼ cup alternative milk or skim milk
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- A few grinds of black pepper
- 1 cup baby spinach, tightly packed
- 3 ounces goat cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 375° F and grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Line the bottom and sides of the baking dish with a single layer of potato slices, and then add another layer to cover any holes (it’s fine if some spaces aren’t covered). Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, then remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 420° F.
While the potato crust par-bakes, heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté, stirring often, 3 to 5 minutes until they begin to sweat and soften. Stir in the garlic for about 30 seconds, and then then add the roasted peppers. Continue to cook until excess liquid evaporates, then remove from heat.
When the potato crust comes out, layer first with baby spinach, then goat cheese. Carefully pour the egg mixture on top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it set for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 days chilled or 3 months frozen.
