Description - YUMMY! I added asparag us in addition. I used fresh spinach & just folded it into the eggs & veges at the end. Any veges or sweet potatoes would be great. The recipe would make a small 9x13 or 3-4 small loaf pans.
Tender and fluffy egg casserole filled with fresh peppers, onions, mushrooms, zucchini, cheese, cream and of course, eggs. Customize with sausage and other seasonal vegetables to feed a crowd or make ahead to freeze for busy nights.
