Casseroles are the epitome of comfort food, aren’t they? Warm, hearty, and highly versatile, these appealing casserole qualities come especially handy when you have a batch of overcooked eggs on your hands.
If you’ve ever faced the disappointment of slicing into a boiled egg only to find a bland-looking grey yolk, you’ll appreciate the power of a casserole. In a casserole, overcooked eggs’ chalky, dry nature doesn’t stand a chance against moisture-rich ingredients like milk, cheese, and vegetables. The eggs absorb this moisture, their texture softening. To begin, choose your casserole ingredients with an eye for moisture. Creamy elements like cheese, milk, or even coconut milk for a dairy-free version work wonders. Then, add some vegetables, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach, for texture and flavor. Proteins like sausage or ham can also join the party if you wish.
Chop or slice your overcooked eggs and stir them into the mix. As the casserole bakes, watch your eggs transform, absorbing moisture and flavor from the surrounding ingredients. If you really want to get fancy, try your hand at this ultra-indulgent croissant breakfast casserole.
