Cheesy Egg Bake

April 10, 2014 by girlinspired 7 Comments

Cheesy Egg Bake serves 12 people - uses all your omelet favorites!

This Cheesy Egg Bake is a keeper for your recipe box!  I love filling meals that pack lots of yummy flavors into one dish.  I’ve modified this recipe of my mom’s over the years for my personal taste, but you can substitute in and out all of your favorite breakfast veggies and meats.  The recipe calls for flour, though I have omitted the flour successfully for a grain-free breakfast!  The real star of this dish is the massive amounts of cheese that layer the top and bottom of the bake and cook up into melted cheese heaven.  The recipe feeds about 12 people, so it’s a good one for large family gatherings, a brunch, or Easter breakfast!

Start by dicing your favorite omelet add-ins like tomato, basil, onions, and chives.  Brown breakfast sausage or use bacon or ham.  Shred a ton of cheese and then layer it all in a large glass baking dish (or divide between two pie plates), beginning and ending with cheese.

This recipe can also be prepped ahead of time by shredding the cheese, dicing all the veggies, and pre-cooking the meat and onions.  AND…if you want to make up this big dish with just a few people in the house, I have also sliced up the leftovers, popped them into individual baggies, and frozen them for later.  1-2 minutes in the microwave and you have a well-rounded breakfast on a busy morning!
