Cheesy Egg Casserole
Buttery Cheesy Egg Casserole – this recipe is the perfect baked egg recipe for brunch! It’s full of cheese and spices and everyone loves it.
If you’re looking for the perfect brunch egg recipe, THIS IS IT. It’s a family favorite and it’s so easy that it comes together in minutes. None of my family are huge egg lovers, but we devour this casserole, so you know it has to be good.
When I made this last week, Jordan got home from school and asked to taste it. She kept raving about how good it was and how she wanted more. I reminded her that she has already had these cheesy baked eggs several times before, on Christmas. I guess the monkey bread wins out over eggs. ?
This Cheesy Egg Casserole is what I make every year for Christmas breakfast. I always make monkey bread so I want a baked egg recipe that doesn’t have bread. So many egg casseroles have a biscuit or bread base but when you’re having sweet rolls with your meal you don’t need double the carbs. A friend of mine gave me this recipe years ago and I’ve been making it every year since.
Eggs, Italian seasoning, and lots of cheese … thats the trio of champions!
This recipe is super easy, which is a requirement for any brunch menu of mine. I refuse to spend time on Christmas or Easter morning (or any random day, for that matter) cooking over the stove when I could be relaxing with my family drinking a mimosa.
The eggs get their body and rise from a combination of flour and baking powder. Then you add double the cheese: cottage cheese and 2 full cups of your favorite cheese. I use mozzarella most often because I think it pairs well with the Italian seasoning.
Now, if you’re freaked out about cottage cheese, don’t be. I know it freaks me out and I would never just eat it, but baked into recipes, it adds body and flavor and some cheesy goodness.
Jordan ate two servings for snack that day, and I froze the rest, which she’s eating for breakfast and dinners.
