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!

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.
The nerve of you even speaking about our Lord and Savior.
I'm waiting for the blaspheme
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
🎉😊❤
Merci
WAAAAAAAAAAAAY too much salt
I put the asparagus florets on top of the cheese
Looks great chef! Although I feel like this needs a predominant spice or herb. Like ground mustard/rosemary/dill.
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.
❤
Down To Tap.
The GOAT.
The tapa-tapa AND the shaka-shaka?!? You're spoling us John!
Yummy, now add a spoonful of Sour Cream on top…you can thank me later.
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.
Allrecipes beat you to it…… 😉
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…
🎉
not having bacon in this is a sin 😛
thanks chef john!
This would be bomb with green pepper instead of asparagus.
Chef John is the bomb.
In my country we now have white asperges so I will use them.
When I blanched the ham it kept falling thru the spyder- is it the spyder or ham thats bad?
I'm gonna cut my potatoes from now on just like that…that was great, thanks Chef John.
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.❤
When I saw the thumbnail I thought for a moment it was going to be some kind of cereal casserole haha.
Quiche????
Sure, sausage and mushrooms in there INSTEAD of asparagus.
SPRING TINGS!
If you can't eat peppers, use sun dried tomatoes.
Yummy but we use salmon rather than ham 😊
Gonna save this for xmas, maybe a weekend at the cottage.
Your sing song vocal delivery is really annoying. I was excited to see this recipe and I had to leave after the first few minutes.
i give this a rating of….. Big Nasty!! Asparagus is not meant to be eaten….its a stalk of weeds
Thank you Chef John , for yet another recipe that will happen in my kitchen this coming weekend. Marvelous!!!
"Since we're doing this in Spring"
*Me, looking out my window at the -2°C weather
Sigh 🙁
Apparently Chef John does not like some blood with his breakfast casserole… Steaks are OK. 😁👍
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.
I mean you are after all
The Billy Joel
Of your
Easter Casserole!!!
When you were cutting the asparagus and greasing the baking dish, I thought you were the mohel with olive oil.
😍
Can I leave the potato peels on? I like them and they add nutrients.
Oh my gosh I was litterally just wondering why they call it a spider when it looks like a spider web!
Wow!
I'm not sure of the asparagus in this dish. It polarises people. I might use spring onion and courgettes. Everything else looks delish.
It’s a Frittata.
Two questions: does this freeze and reheat well? And can you use sweet potatoes?
Ooooooh, delicious, ♫ This screams for feta cheese. Hmmmmmm…
OMG! That looks so good! I need to do this (on a smaller scale of course)
