Easter Breakfast Casserole | Food Wishes

This easy to do Easter breakfast casserole is the lightest, most tender, perfectly-textured baked eggs dish you will ever make. The secret is a perfect ratio of eggs, milk, cream and cheese which creates a feather-light custard; ideal for bringing together our bite-sized pieces of spring vegetables and holiday ham. Enjoy!

  1. Doing this! I rolled the dice on Chef John for the first time with his spring vegetable frittata for Mother's Day years ago. Haven't considered his recipes a dice roll ever since.

  2. I've been making various versions of this for years. Its a good go to, often for me. You can put whatever you want in it, and it will be yummy. I've never thought of adding asparagus, thanks so much Chef!!!! I love asparagus!!!! I like olives in mine too.
    Another thing that I like to do is make it in my muffin tins and put in fridge for ready made easy breakfasts for a few days. Just take out however many needed for the meal, and warm them up.
    Bon appetite Chef
    🎉😊❤

  3. Looks great chef! Although I feel like this needs a predominant spice or herb. Like ground mustard/rosemary/dill.

  4. My son calls the utensil I use to slice strawberries or potatoes or any other 'soft' fruit or boiled eggs or cooked veggies "the Nonna knife".

    It's serrated but neither nonna or I have ever drawn blood. 😉

    Thanks for the recipe and your foolproof techniques chef. 👏👏👏

    Will re-watch! And email the video to myself.

  5. This looks amazing, thank you for always being wonderful Chef John. Anyone have a good suggestion for a non-meat replacement to ham in this? I know it adds a saltiness that would be crucial so I don't want to just swap to mushroom.

  6. This looks seriously good. I might be tempted to cut off the tips of the asparagus and put on top last with cheese to look pretty…

  7. When I blanched the ham it kept falling thru the spyder- is it the spyder or ham thats bad?

  8. It’s good to blanch, asparagus and other vegetables in water with a teaspoon or two of sugar and salt. A restaurant Chef’s secret weapon.❤

  9. i give this a rating of….. Big Nasty!! Asparagus is not meant to be eaten….its a stalk of weeds

  10. Thank you Chef John , for yet another recipe that will happen in my kitchen this coming weekend. Marvelous!!!

  11. Apparently Chef John does not like some blood with his breakfast casserole… Steaks are OK. 😁👍

  12. My grandmother would make something similar, but she used stale bread instead of potatoes, to soak up the custard. Vegetables, cheese, salt and pepper, it was like a savory bread pudding.

  13. When you were cutting the asparagus and greasing the baking dish, I thought you were the mohel with olive oil.

  14. I'm not sure of the asparagus in this dish. It polarises people. I might use spring onion and courgettes. Everything else looks delish.
