    This Farmhouse Egg Bake is one of my favorite dishes to make in the summer because I can produce most of the ingredients on my own. It's full of veggies, eggs and cheese - and it only takes 30 minutes to make!

    I love a good egg bake for breakfast. Be sure to check out my Cheesy Bacon & Potato Egg Casserole too!

    Farmhouse Egg Casserole Recipe

    Sometimes I sit at my dinner, take a look at the meal, and try to determine what percentage of the meal I produced. It always varies but I get so excited when the percentage is really high. I'll look over the meal and then I'll announce to the family all of the things we grew. I love knowing where our food comes from and I want my kids to enjoy the literal fruits of our labors.

    If you aren't able to have your own hobby farm, garden, or chickens, this is an easy (and very affordable) dish to buy local ingredients for. You could stop and get all of the vegetables and eggs from a roadside stand or farmer's market. I'm always looking for great ways to use garden vegetables and this is one of my favorites.  The best part? The vegetables are hiding in eggs and topped with cheese. Even more, fussy three-year-old eats this without complaint. They don't even know it's full of vegetables.

    Pork or lamb roast (animals we raised and processed), green beans and sweet corn (from the garden), and some canned peaches or applesauce (also from the garden and canned by me) are really typical for us during the winter. Tacos with ground lamb and vegetables from the garden, fajitas with lamb steak and garden onions, peppers, and tomatoes, or stir-fry with garden veggies are other common meals. We don't produce all of our own food, but I like the personal challenge of producing and using as much as I can.

    What can I use instead of a Cast Iron Skillet?

    If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a heavy bottomed oven-safe skillet will work. If you don't have any oven-safe skillets you can spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add the cooked vegetables in an even layer in the bottom of the dish and then pour the egg mixture over the top, cook as directed.

    Can I freeze my egg casserole?

    Yes! This is a great recipe to make ahead and freeze for later. When you are ready to eat, thaw the egg bake overnight then cook as directed.

    Description

    This Farmhouse Egg Bake is one of my favorite dishes to make in the summer because I can produce most of the ingredients on my own. It's full of veggies, eggs and cheese - and it only takes 30 minutes to make!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil or bacon grease
    • 1 medium zucchini grated, around 2 cups
    • 1 medium onion, chopped
    • 1 bell pepper, chopped
    • 1 ripe tomato, chopped
    • 12 eggs
    • ½ cup milk
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon pepper
    • 4 ounce Cabot Farmhouse Reserve Cheddar, grated

    Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
    2. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium high heat (10 or 12 inch skillet). Add the oil or grease and all of the chopped veggies. Cook until the veggies are soften and any extra liquid has cooked off, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
    3. In a medium bowl combine all of the eggs, milk, and salt and pepper, Whisk until well combine. Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables and sprinkle with the grated cheese. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the eggs are cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool for 3-4 minutes before serving.

    Notes

    If you don't have a cast iron skillet, a heavy bottomed oven-safe skillet will work. If you don't have any oven-safe skillets you can spray a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Add the cooked vegetables in an even layer in the bottom of the dish and then pour the egg mixture over the top, cook as directed.

    If you can't find Cabot Farmhouse Reserve, sharp cheddar can be substituted.
