Quick and Easy Egg Casserole Recipe
I’m going to be transparent with you.
A lot of nights I cook like this.
I get behind on time with everything on the farm that needs my attention, and when dinnertime rolls around it’s far too common that I’m flying through the kitchen whipping something up off the cuff. This is one of the dishes that was a result of my scurrying and one version or another of it has become a weekly meal for us.
Eggs are on top of my list of super foods! Not only are they inexpensive, but I really enjoy their versatility – casseroles, quiches, breakfast burritos, hard boiled eggs – tons of options there!
And they pack such a powerful protein punch!
Ingredients
- 1 bag (1 lb 6 oz) of frozen broccoli flowerets, defrosted and chopped in food processor (or spinach)
- 2 cups cheddar or mexican blend shredded cheese
- 18 eggs
- 1 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350
- Butter 9x13 baking dish
- Place broccoli or spinach in across bottom of pan
- Sprinkle cheese over broccoli
- In a mixing bowl combine remaining ingredients and mix until thoroughly incorporated
- Pour over broccoli and cheese
- Bake for 40 minutes or until center is set
- Serve with Sourdough Toast
This recipe visits us weekly, as I mentioned. Sometimes I use sliced, leftover sweet potatoes for a ‘crust’, or maybe the main vegetable or seasonings are different.

This looks delicious! Reminds me of Easter breakfast at the church. Definitely bookmarking this.

I have never made an egg casserole but would love to try one someday. I’m all about spinach and broccoli so this sounds like the winning recipe to me! Though I’ll probably take mine sans sour cream.

Thank you Lois… Making it again tonight! Spinach and garlic and ham. Absolute favorite.
oh gosh it looks fantastic!! I would add a tiny bit of bacon to mine but only because the baby makes me crave it
Tonight’s egg dish will have ham in it Maria… but you’ve put bacon on my brain!!!! 🙂
love how you snuck in veggies for breakfast.
This is my kind of recipe. Quick and easy to prep is the way to go! Pinning this one!
No fuss no frills should be on a sign in my kitchen, Cyndie. hahaha! Thanks for the feedback.
I love how fluffy it is! I’m not much of an eggs for breakfast person (well, I am, but more occasionally than every morning), but my mother was visiting this week and made fancy egg dishes for breakfast every day. I’m forwarding this post to her because I’m sure she’ll make it often!

absolutely brett– I am very much a no fuss no frills cook. I used to feel like I needed to change that but now I’m happy with my cooking ways. hahaha
I love egg casseroles – especially when I have company visiting! Great way to make a tasty breakfast with out all the hassle.
We don’t get much company but that’s smart thinking Debbie! Seems like I’m usually using it for supper. Then my husband always eats it in a tortilla at work the next day. lol!
That looks just yummy. Love the veggies added in.

Eggs are AWESOME, I agree Amanda… my daughters didn’t eat meat for about 5 years and I don’t know what I would’ve done without eggs!
It’s a great idea to make this for dinner time! It provides everything a family needs with very little prep! I am definitely going to be trying this one!
