Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Bread
- 2 cups cubed bread (preferably stale or day-old)
Vegetables
- 1 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup chopped onions
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
Instructions
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy to incorporate air for a fluffy texture.
- Assemble portions: Lightly grease individual ramekins or muffin tins. Evenly distribute the cubed bread, mixed vegetables, and shredded cheese in each ramekin. Pour the egg mixture over each filled ramekin, ensuring the ingredients are well-coated and the liquid reaches just below the top.
- Bake until set: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for stability. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is fully set and the tops are lightly golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
Notes
- You can customize the vegetables according to your preference or seasonality, such as adding mushrooms, tomatoes, or zucchini.
- Using day-old bread helps absorb the egg mixture better, creating a moist casserole.
- To make this recipe vegetarian friendly, avoid adding any meat if you choose to customize further.
- These casseroles can be made ahead and refrigerated; reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
