Simple, Tasty Egg and Potato Casserole
Easy enough to make ahead the night before and quick enough for a filling breakfast-for-dinner.
Ingredients
- 12 large Eggs
- 5 medium Red or Russet Potatoes
- 1 cup Cilantro chopped
- 1/2 cup Whole or 2% Milk
- 1/2 tsp Seasoned Salt
Instructions
- Peel, rinse and chop potatoes. Place in glass bowl, add 1/4 tsp of seasoned salt and mix. Cover with a glass plate. Microwave on High about 10 minutes or until potatoes are just soft. Stir halfway through cooking. (Caution: bowl and plate will be HOT!)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13 glass baking dish.
- After potatoes are done cooking, remove from microwave, remove plate and allow to cool while preparing next steps.
- Crack and mix the eggs with the milk and remaining seasoned salt. Mix well, until all yolks are broken and salt and milk are fully incorporated.
- Add 3/4 of the cilantro, stir to combine.
- Add cooled potatoes to the egg mixture and gently fold in until well combined.
- Pour into greased baking dish. Bake at 350 for 35-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes before cutting. Sprinkle remaining cilantro on the hot casserole and enjoy!
Notes
This recipe is basic and can be dressed up in a number of ways. Onion, salsa, bell peppers, spinach – are just a few of the extras easily incorporated.
My microwave is 1000 watts. Adjust the time for your microwave accordingly.
You know your oven best. Some may take closer to an hour (like my older gas oven). Others may cook hotter and faster, such as convection ovens. I didn’t need to cover mine with foil, but if you know your oven browns food quickly, I highly recommend covering it with foil towards the end of cooking.
