Ingredients

This Italian Egg Casserole comes together with eggs, milk, cheese, tomatoes, prosciutto, mushrooms, seasoning and herbs.

See recipe card for ingredient quantities.

Egg Casserole's are one of those things you really can't go wrong with.  The ingredients listed in this recipe aren't the end all of an egg casserole.  You can modify the ingredients to add virtually anything.

Most egg bakes are savory.  Having said this, you'll want to put ingredients that are on the salty side, like cheeses, olives, spinach, onions, mushrooms, herbs, and spices. Yes, I said cheeses (plural). You can put more than one, don't stop there.  Cheeses like feta, parmesan, cheddar, brie, gouda, etc.

And, if you want to add a meat, go ahead.  Some of the best meat products to put in a this easy egg casserole are bacon, prosciutto,  sausage, or chorizo.

In fact, for an egg bake you can pretty much scour your refrigerator and put everything but the kitchen sink in it - you can't go wrong.

How do I know When this Easy Egg Casserole is Ready?

The egg back will need 45 to 60 minutes in the oven.  You will know that it is ready when it puffs up.  At this point, take a toothpick and insert it into the center of the egg bake.  If you remove the toothpick and the toothpick is dry, then it's ready!

Once it is ready, take it out of the oven and let it rest for at least 5 minutes.  There's nothing worse than taking a piping hot mouthful of frittata and burning your mouth! So remember to have patience if you can.

How to Make an Italian Egg Casserole

It won't take you long to prepare this dish. The hardest part is waiting for it to be fully cooked so that you can sink your teeth in it.

Start to preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Storage:

This easy egg bake stores very well in the refrigerator as leftovers for not more than 4 days. Try to consume it as quickly as possible if your family hasn't gobbled it all up.

I don't recommend freezing cooked eggs as they generally thaw out with more moisture than when you initially placed them in the freezer.

Top Tips

Test that the egg casserole is cooked by inserting a toothpick in to the centre of the dish. If the toothpick comes out clean, then your eggs are cooked.

Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting into the casserole and serving to avoid getting a food burn.

Substitutions and Variations

If you know how to make the recipe fit a certain diet, let the reader know here. Don't fake it - only provide guidance on topics you have actual experience with.

  • Lettuce - instead of ice berg lettuce, you can use romaine lettuce or spinach
  • Bun - use gluten free buns instead of white bread buns to make this gluten free
  • Vegetarian - the beef hamburger can be replaced with a plant-based burger to make this vegetarian
