Lesson Learned - Breakfast Casserole

Many years ago, a co-worker would bring in his delicious egg casserole for special occasions.  He lived close enough that it would still be warm when he arrived.  It was such a fantastic treat.  He would put in eggs, mushrooms, sour creme, sausage, cheese and sometimes some other ingredients for us.   

When I wanted to try and cut out carbs/fat (and stop eating pop-tarts for breakfast) ... he recommended that I make a smaller version of his casserole.  He informed me that I could cut it into squares and then heat up a square every morning for breakfast.  

Fast forward to now.  I still make a breakfast casserole.  I bake it in a square glass dish.  I cut it into blocks.  I slide those blocks into slices each and put them into a Tupperware container that works perfectly.  Each morning I pull out some slices and microwave them in a smaller Tupperware container.  It works well and I get a nice hot breakfast each morning, without a whole lot of fuss.

  2. I have been asked about my recipe. I have no real "recipe". I just throw the stuff together (whatever I have).

    For the 9 x 9 - I usually use 6 eggs, 1 pound of sausage, 1 cup or so of sour cream, and about 2 cups of cheese (I like taco cheese or sharp cheddar). I add mushrooms or peppers or whatever else I might have.

    If you do a search on breakfast casseroles you will find a ton of options. Some with hash browns, some with bacon, some all veggies. I have tried a lot of them over the years - but I tend to stick with the "basics" now. It is quick/easy to make and it works for my taste buds.
