Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Trim the mushrooms and cut them in quarters. Dice the bacon.
Fry the bacon and mushrooms in butter in a skillet over medium high heat until golden brown. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place contents the of the skillet in a greased baking dish.
Add remaining ingredients to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour egg mixture over the bacon and mushrooms and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until golden brown on top and set in the middle. Cover with a piece of aluminum foil if the top of the casserole is at risk of burning before it's cooked through.

Tip!

For a little color, feel free to add spinach or other greens to the skillet with the bacon and mushroom mixture in step 3, toward the end when almost finished cooking. Sauté for just a minute or two and proceed with the recipe.

Not to be thick - what size pan? 8"x8", 9"x13"? Thanks!

Based on picture, looks like a 7"×11" dish. Or, an 8" or 9" square would work with the volume of ingredients.

I live in Canada and we don't have "heavy" whipping cream.

Can we replace it with (liquid unsweetened) whipping cream or something else?

Excellent egg dish for either a brunch or dinner! I used the regular whipping cream I buy for my coffee. Also added spinach like the recipe suggested. Tastes like a quiche.

This is one of my favorites! I eat this more as a lunch meal than breakfast, with a green salad. I also added spinach to the recipe, it taste awesome!! Its very easy to cook, normally i use a mix of all kind of cheese, nota only cheddar. I certainly recommend this recipe.

Cristi, what they are referring to is just whipping cream (33 - 36%) which we, of course, can find in all grocery stores in Canada. Hope that helps.

Christi , I tried one recipe a week or so ago and it called for heavy whipping cream but also offered a substitute of using sour cream . I used the sour cream and it came out terrific . I am going to try this as a substitute more often .

Any replacement for cream and cheese for non dairy option? Or can I not put into the recipe? Can this recipe freeze before serving if making for a week.

I originally used the 9 x 13 and we loved this recipe for months, but when I only had my 8 x 8 to use, I was shocked at how much better it was. This recipe is the best breakfast casserole ever! Definitely use the 8 x 8. If I use the larger pan, it will be to double the recipe for company.

if you use a cast iron skillet, you don’t need another dish to bake the casserole. also, if you just cook it til set on top of the stove then broil for a minute, you’re meal won’t take 40 minutes.

This may be a stupid question but I’m new to all this and trying to do lots of meal prep so I don’t find myself stuck. Will this last all week in the fridge or can this be frozen for later?

Does it really have 81grams of fat per serving? That’s almost my entire daily intake for fat....

Going to try making this for breakfast, thinking of using a medium deep frypan, and grilling to set the top. Will add a little chorizo, chopped into small pieces, & spinach. Also some chopped leftover Brussel sprouts.

@des...i think if you lessen the bacon, butter and cheese and add extra spinach and mushrooms like I did, the flavor is still delicious!

Maybe a dumb question, but when placing contents of Skillet in baking dish, should the butter and bacon grease be included or discarded?

Personal preference! Some people may have more grease left over than others and some may not like the extra grease added to their dish.
