Cheesy Potato, Spinach and Egg Breakfast Casserole

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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!

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
