Hi, it’s Aviva Goldfarb, and it’s the holiday season, so a lot of times, we are looking for something that we can make ahead to serve for a holiday breakfast, maybe even Christmas morning, that won’t take too much work the morning of so we can really enjoy the time with our family. So I’m going to show you a recipe for a make-ahead breakfast casserole recipe: it’s a cheesy spinach and egg bake.
This recipe is so easy you’re not going to believe it, but it turns out to be so pretty and delicious, and it’s healthy with lots of vegetables and eggs and protein, so I think it’s going to be a winner at your breakfast table, but you could even eat it as breakfast-for-dinner, which we like to do sometimes too. There’s no reason not to do it. And if you like it a little meatier, you can add some bacon or some sausage to it, too, or you could serve that on the side. So I’m going to show you what we do. We’re going to beat our eggs; we’re just going to add in our spinach, which I’m going to show you how I drain—I use frozen, chopped spinach to make it easier and cheaper, and I buy organic whenever possible—and then we can use cottage cheese, or you can use Greek yogurt if you don’t like cottage cheese; shredded pepper jack cheese, but if you don’t want it so spicy, you can definitely just use Monterey jack cheese instead pepper jack cheese.
We’re going to bake it all together, but you can refrigerate it overnight and bake it in the morning if you want it hot and fresh in the morning. Our cheesy spinach and egg casserole is ready, the whole house smells amazing, and my family is going to love it for breakfast this morning. They’re not even going to know it only took me ten minutes to throw it all together. Actually if they did know, they’d probably be happy for me. We like to enjoy this easy egg and spinach casserole for breakfast or brunch topped with our favorite salsa, which you might enjoy too. One thing I realized is that this is so perfect for Christmas morning because it has these beautiful green and red colors, just like Christmas colors, so one more reason to enjoy it for a holiday breakfast. Have a very happy holiday, and remember, you are never too busy to eat well!
