Cheesy Potato, Spinach and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Every year, I have the same dilemma: what in the world am I going to bring to our church’s Easter Sunday sunrise service and potluck breakfast?  I am well aware that the Easter holiday has nothing to do with my cooking, but any event that allows me the opportunity to bring food ranks high on my priority list.  I always have several goals when I bring food to a potluck.  One is to bring something that looks appetizing, because people are going to judge on appearance and I may not be afforded the opportunity to explain the dish.  I also try to make sure that the dish is recognizable, but also unique.  Another thing I always try to do is make a dish that’s vegetarian, because chances are good that others are also seeking meat-free options.   Now that I’ve typed all that, I’m realizing that my approaching to potlucks may be a little over the top.

At any rate, I decided I wanted to make some sort of egg casserole dish this year.  I dug up an old Pioneer Woman recipe I’d saved in Evernote, omitted the meat and baked it up on Easter morning (after I slept in an hour late because I used an alarm that wasn’t changed for Daylight Savings…but that’s another story).  The dish came out well and went over great with others at the breakfast, but it wasn’t exactly what I wanted it to be.  Last week, I made some adjustments and tried it again.

I am really happy with my version of this casserole.  It’s a great dish because it comes together fairly quickly and makes a lot of food.  A 9 x 13 inch pan of deliciousness is awesome for a potluck or brunch, but it’s also perfect for making ahead and reheating throughout the week.  I baked this casserole on Tuesday and Brian and I ate it for dinner twice, plus got 2 days of lunches out of it.  Lastly, this casserole would easily accept any other adjustments you’d like to make, such as re-introducing meat, using another green (kale, anyone?), changing up the type of cheese or adding spices or hot peppers.  Hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Cheesy Potato, Spinach and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 30 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Servings 8 -12 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds potatoes shredded (I used my food processor to do this)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 eggs
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 4 cups raw spinach

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Heat a couple tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shredded potatoes to the pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are slightly crispy. If needed, add additional olive oil to keep the potatoes from sticking.
  • Meanwhile, crack the 12 eggs into a large bowl. Beat with a fork. Add 1 and a half cups of the cheese and all of the spinach to the bowl. Stir to coat all of the spinach with egg.
  • When the potatoes are done, spread them evenly on the bottom of an ungreased glass 9x13 baking pan.
  • Pour the egg/cheese/spinach mixture evenly over the potatoes. Bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees, or until the eggs are cooked through.
  • After 20 minutes, sprinkle the additional half cup of cheese over the casserole. Return the casserole to the open for 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
  • Enjoy!

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
