A delicious and healthy casserole using colorful vegetables with roasted sweet potatoes at the bottom.
Ingredients
Roasted Vegetables
- 1 large sweet potato, cubed
- 8 oz mushrooms, quartered
- 1 zucchini, diced
- ½ cucumber, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 yellow pepper, diced
- 2 Tbs olive oil for drizzling
Egg Milk Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- ½ Cup milk
- 3 garlic, minced
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
Creamy Bold Flavors
- 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
- 5 stalks scallions, sliced thinly
- 2 jalapeno pepper, sliced
- baby arugula (optional) as garnish
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper. Spray a large 9"x13"casserole baking dish with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- On one baking sheet, spread out the cubed sweet potatoes. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- On the second baking sheet, spread out the remaining veggies. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Pop in the oven and roast for 10 minutes. When done, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
- Whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic, salt and black pepper.
- In prepared casserole baking dish, spread out the roasted sweet potatoes evenly. Add half the roasted veggies on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle with feta cheese, scallions and jalapenos.
- Pour egg mixture evenly over the veggies. Top with the remaining roasted mushrooms, zucchini, and peppers. Gently tap the dish to settle the contents.
- Pop into the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The eggs should be set and not runny. If not, bake for another 5-8 minutes.
- When done, remove and let it sit for 10 minutes. Slice, top with arugula (if using) and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute and swap out and use vegetables that you like. I think you can use carrots, celery, peas, squash, etc. It's a great way to use what you have at hand.
- To save time, you can also use precut veggies from the store - sliced mushrooms, shredded carrots, etc.
- For a richer casserole, you can use cream instead of milk. Or substitute milk with almond milk if you prefer.
- Goat cheese will also be a good alternative to feta cheese in this recipe.
- You can also make this an even heartier, non-vegetarian casserole by adding precooked bacon pieces, breakfast sausages into the middle layer of the casserole.
