Why I love making this Casserole?

Ideal Breakfast: This is an ideal breakfast for the whole family. You can make as little or as big depending on the size of your family and everyone’s breakfast is ready together.

Great for kids lunchbox: This casserole actually makes a healthy lunchbox item for kids. You can cut them into strips or squares; or you can even cut them into fun shapes so that kids have something interesting in their lunchbox.

Healthy Snack: These potato frittatas have a lot of protein in it. They have eggs and loaded with cheese which makes them healthy snack item for anyone in the family; specially kids

Versatile: The recipe is simple and you can use any topping of your choice. You can completely skip cheese and add other filling of your choice. Adding some deli meat will be yummy.

Ingredients for making Breakfast Casserole:

Egg: Any size of eggs will do the job. If eggs are too small you might need to adjust according to potato egg ratio.

Potato: I like to use the potatoes which gets nice crust on the outside. The ones which are great for frying will be the best option compared to the ones for mashing.

Cheese: Using cheese is a preference and you can use any cheese of your choice. However, it’s better not to substitute parmesan as it will give nice texture and flavor. I have used Feta cheese as topping but Cheddar, Leicester and many other varieties will work amazing too.

Salt: Regular salt is good enough but i like to give it some dense flavor so i like to use garlic salt.

Dried Herbs: Using dried herbs is not absolutely necessary but will definitely add up to give better flavor to the dish.

Oil: You can use other oils for this recipe such as Avocado or Rapeseed oil.

Mum Hack:

If your child is a picky eater, put their favorite filling inside along with eggs, potatoes and cheese. You can cut them into fun shapes for their lunchbox to surprise them!
