    Quick Breakfast Casserole For Two and in 2 Casserole dishes

    Ingredients

    Breakfast Casserole Ingredients
    • Crushed tomatoes: Use any brand you like.
    • Olive oil: To saute the onion, garlic and eggs. You may use butter instead if you like.
    • Eggs: Use large eggs at room temperature.
    • Salt: A little goes a long way.
    • Black Pepper:
    • Chilly flakes: Give your dish some heat; if it is not available, you can use cayenne pepper instead.
    • Italian seasoning: If you are not a fan of Italian seasoning, you can replace it with dried thyme, basil or sage. All are excellent and will give a lovely flavour to this dish.
    • Onion: Add extra flavor.
    • Garlic: When sauteed with onion, it adds a delicious flavor.
    • Cheddar cheese: For best flavor use sharp cheddar cheese.
    • Fresh Parsley: To garnish your dish.

    How to Make Quick Breakfast Casserole For Two?

    Steps of making the recipe

    First Step: Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté' until the onion softens about 3-4 minutes. Then add the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and chilli flakes. Simmer for about another 8-10 minutes then turn off the heat. 

    Second Step: Divide the mixture between two small baking dishes or 2 small casserole dishes. Crack the eggs over the mixture in the baking dishes.

    Step Three: Sprinkle the cheddar cheese on the top (you can add some salt and pepper if you like) then bake for 15 minutes. 

    Step Four: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

    Pro Tips!

    • You can garnish with fresh basil or cilantro instead of parsley.
    • I recommend that you grate the cheddar cheese yourself because freshly grated cheese melts so well and gives the dish a better taste.
    • You may bake this dish in a large casserole dish instead of 2 small casserole dishes.

    Alternatives and Substitutes

    Here are some add-ins and flavor options for this dish:

    • Use fresh herbs instead of Italian seasonings; you can use thyme, rosemary or basil.
    • Add in some chopped mushrooms.
    • Make your casserole a complete meal and add some veggies such as sweet potatoes, bell peppers, green onion, broccoli, hash browns or some zucchini.
    • Add meat such as, cooked ground beef, ground chicken, shredded turkey or chicken.
    • Make it extra cheesy add mozzarella cheese along with cheddar. You can also add parmesan or shredded Monterey jack cheese. You may also use white cheddar cheese, cottage or cream cheese.
    • Make this breakfast casserole for two extra creamy, and add half a cup of heavy cream to the egg mixture.

    What to serve with breakfast casserole

    Serve this dish with some fresh fruit, a cup of milk, yogurt or garlic bread. Here are some side dish suggestions:

    • Bread: Gyro Bread.
    • Salad: Malfouf Salad or Italian Tomato And Onion Salad.
