WHAT IS AN EGG CASSEROLE?

Is it a quiche or a casserole? Egg casserole is basically a quiche without its crust. This is a dish that you can cook slowly in your oven but still knock out in about 20 minutes. Our version ups the ante with Blacksticks Blue cheese. This unusual combination is a musky yet friendly blue with a beautiful orange coloration. If you can’t find that specific cheese, you can substitute a Cambozola Black Label.

SUGGESTIONS WHEN MAKING EGG CASSEROLE

What’s the Best Veg?

We use broccoli, peppers, and onions as our vegetable mix. You can feel free to use any other combination that suits you. Zucchini is a good addition or even asparagus. Just make sure the vegetables have similar consistencies for even cooking times. Semi-dry tomatoes add pops of flavor to this dish, so try not to forgo them if possible.

What’s The Accompaniment?

This egg casserole is excellent with a side salad for a lite lunch or with a nice slice of crusty bread like baguette or ciabatta.

WHAT PAIRS WELL WITH EGG CASSEROLE?

Some would call a casserole with eggs a breakfast dish, so the time of day you intend to serve this recipe influences your decision. If in the morning, a nice fruit salad or compote with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice is a refreshing side. For lunch try a side salad with some grated Parmesan Reggiano or Comte. If it’s dinner time look towards more mature sides like a cucumber salad with an Asian twist or some green beans sauteed with garlic. If you like garlic but in moderation, either cook it minced a bit earlier then normal, or try its’ milder cousin black garlic. Not sure which one is a better fit, check out our comparison here!
