Breakfast Casserole w/ Goat Cheese, Sun-dried Tomatoes, and Baby Spinach

A gourmet baked egg and cheese casserole, this is easy to make and can be prepared ahead. Great for serving guests or for a special breakfast. We also love prepping it ahead and having quick breakfasts ready all week.

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Blender or Food Processor
  • 1 9 x 13 Casserole Dish

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cups goat cheese, crumbled
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach a cup is about a handful
  • 8 eggs beaten well
  • 1½ c. milk
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • 1¼ t. dry ground mustard

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Grease baking dish.
    Layer spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and goat cheese in casserole dish.
  • Beat eggs with milk, salt and mustard—blender or food processor works best for this.
    Pour mixture over veggies and cheese (make sure veggies are well-covered).
  • Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. (Optional–see notes.)
  • Uncover and bake at 300° for 60 minutes, or until set (bubbly).
  • Cut into squares and serve. We love serving with salsa, hot sauce, or chili garlic sauce at the table.

Notes

This casserole is best when made ahead and then just pop it in the oven when you’re ready to serve it. However, I’ve put this casserole together and baked it immediately many times and it still tastes fantastic.

Instant Pot Minestrone…Instastrone?

January 23, 2018 by //  by Holly 3 Comments

If Instastrone isn’t a real word, it will be after you try this amazing dish! Minestrone is a wonderful Italian vegetable soup, thick and hearty. In restaurants it’s often served with pasta, but it’s not a necessity. We prefer ours with only yummy veggies!

This recipe requires a bit of chopping, but then you just throw the ingredients in and wait for some delicious soup! But you’ll only have to wait for 4 minutes of cook time! That’s why it’s Instastrone!

And it really is very delicious!
