Breakfast
2 hours
At the top of my list for go-to morning meals on the weekends is egg bake or egg casserole. Every family has a coveted recipe for this one-pan, family-sized breakfast dish. I've made variations of egg bake six ways to Sunday, but I always fall back on this version that never fails.
This recipe takes notes from my wife and her sister, who keep it simple, but the final product is always fantastic. It comes down to simple techniques and well-treated ingredients. You have to use plain white bread—like the cheap Wonder Bread stuff. Always cook the dish covered for the majority of the time in the oven, and be sure to use whole-fat dairy in the egg batter.
If you like yours a little heavier on the egg, just add four more and adjust the seasoning. Serve it up by itself or go all out and put together a full breakfast buffet. Either way, don't forget the ketchup.
