Spinach Mushroom Breakfast Casserole
Description
This casserole starts by cooking sliced cremini mushrooms in olive oil until tender, then adding fresh spinach and minced garlic until the greens are wilted and flavors meld. Seasoned with salt and pepper, this vegetable base is spread in a baking dish and topped with sliced green onions and half the goat cheese crumbled over the vegetables. A mixture of eggs whisked with milk and additional seasoning is poured over the layers, then the remaining goat cheese is scattered on top before baking.
The result is a layered casserole where the eggs set gently around the vegetables and cheese, creating a creamy yet firm texture. The mushrooms add earthiness, spinach contributes a mild green taste, and goat cheese provides a slight tang and richness. The gentle bake at 350 degrees F heats everything evenly and gives the edges a subtle golden hue.
This casserole serves well warm and can be cut into squares for easy serving. It works as a nutritious breakfast or brunch main dish, pairing well with fresh fruit or toast. Chopped chives sprinkled on top add a fresh, mild onion flavor and visual appeal.
