Variations for Brunch Eggs

Get creative with this breakfast egg casserole recipe, add whichever vegetables your heart desires, or customize to accommodate dietary restrictions.

I use vegetarian breakfast “sausage” when I’m cooking for friends that want to stay away from meat, and it always goes over well.

For my meat-eating friends I stick with sausage, bacon, or ham.

There are slight taste differences, but the overall effect we are looking for in a morning meal stays constant. Everyone always enjoys whichever version we make for them.

Think of this as a baked omelet and try some of the combinations below:
– Denver style: green pepper and onion
– Greek style: spinach and artichoke
– Mediterranean style: sun dried tomatoes and olives
– Meat lover’s: Canadian bacon and sausage
– Vegetarian: peppers, onions and mushrooms
