Cheesy Vegetable Breakfast Casserole
Description
The casserole begins by tossing sautéed or raw chopped onion, assorted bell peppers, and broccoli florets with half the shredded cheddar cheese in a prepared baking dish. A mixture of eggs, ground mustard, half and half, and whole wheat or white flour is whisked together and poured over the vegetable and cheese base. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes sets the custard, and then a final topping of cheese melts over the surface when returned to the oven briefly.
The result is a warm, cheesy, and protein-rich dish with a slight tang from the mustard powder and a tender bite from the mixed vegetables. The crust is softly set but not dense, providing a balanced texture between eggs and cheese. This casserole is ideal served warm and can be sliced for easy serving.
The dish is straightforward to prepare and can be made ahead, making it convenient for busy mornings or brunches. Letting it rest a few minutes after baking improves sliceability and texture.
