Cheese

This easy and elegant egg casserole is a cherished family tradition, perfect for holiday brunches or busy mornings. With a creamy mushroom and cheese sauce, it can be prepared ahead and stays warm beautifully.

Ingredients

Makes 10 servings

  • 16 eggs
  • 2 cheese
  • 1 mushroom
  • 1 scallion
  • 1 sherry wine

Method

  1. Saute mushrooms in butter and drain. Heat and stir until smooth:soup, cheese, mushrooms, scallions, sherry. Add sliced eggs. Bake for 45 minutes-1 hour. This can be put together the day before. Stays micely on a warming tray for a long time. Can be served by itself or put on toast. (Serve with slotted spoon.) This has been served as Christmas Brunch in my family for many years.

Cook's notes

  • For best results, assemble the casserole the night before and refrigerate. Bake directly from the fridge, adding 10-15 minutes to the baking time.
  • Use a slotted spoon to serve, as the casserole holds its shape but releases a bit of creamy sauce.
  • Substitute your favorite melty cheese (like cheddar, Gruyère, or Monterey Jack) for a different flavor profile.

Easy swaps

  • Instead of sherry wine, use dry white wine or chicken broth (for non-alcoholic version)
  • Instead of mushroom, use diced bell peppers or cooked sausage
  • Instead of scallion, use finely chopped onion or chives

Frequently asked

Can I use egg substitute or egg whites only?

Yes, you can use 4 cups of liquid egg substitute or a combination of whole eggs and egg whites, but the texture may be slightly less rich.

What type of cheese works best?

A sharp cheddar or Gruyère adds great flavor, but any meltable cheese like Monterey Jack, Swiss, or even cream cheese works well.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Use dairy-free butter, cheese alternative, and a plant-based cream soup (or a roux with unsweetened almond milk) for a dairy-free version.
