You can add or not add anything to this casserole: include what you like, mix it up and find something that
you like! When adding starches (like rice or potatoes) and meats, make sure to cook them beforehand because
they take much longer to cook. If you have extra, get a smaller pan, cover with parchment paper, and throw
the rest of the mixtures in there.
Servings: 4-6 (2-3 squares)
Ingredients
3 medium sized potatoes, precooked (any kind)
1 cup of chicken pieces or any other meat, precooked (if desired)
2 sticks of celery
2 tomatoes
1-2 green onions
1/2 -2/3 bag frozen peas
1 bunch of asparagus
1-2 cups of cheese of choice (if desired)
12 eggs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
Method
1. Adjust amount of each food per the size of your pan.
2. Cook potatoes and meats beforehand.
3. Preheat oven to 400 °F.
4. Chop up all choppable ingredients and mix in a large bowl.
5. Crack all 12 eggs into a medium sized bowl, add the spices, and whisk together.
6. Cover your casserole pan (the one I use is 9x13in) with parchment paper.
7. Pour your mixed ingredients into the pan and spread them out so it looks evenly dispersed.
8. Pour the egg mixture into the pan over the other ingredients, move things around with a spoon until it looks
evenly dispersed.
9. Put the cheese on top so it covers all the other ingredients.
10.Put the pan in the oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
11.It's done when you cut the casserole a little and see the egg whites have completely cooked and aren't still
watery.
12.Cut up as desired, I like cutting it into ~2x3-in squares
This is really easy because I make it once and can have it for a couple days. It lasts in the fridge maybe 4
days and I can freeze it as well. With everything that's happening, this just makes mornings less
stressful and you get a good variety of nutrients to start the day with without stressing about eating
healthily throughout the entire day. It's also not the end all be all with the ingredients and isn't exact at
all, which is also less stressful when making it.
