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. 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.

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

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