Breakfast for dinner is one of my favorite things. I just love a good egg casserole and this one is the tops. The eggs are light and fluffy and melt in your mouth. Bacon, mushrooms and onions go so well with the eggs it’s just a really good. Period. And we are in luck, DT parents have egg laying chickens and every few weeks we score dozens and dozens of fresh yard eggs, yum!!! Aren’t they beautiful! I just love them, and one day I will get a few chickens myself, seriously I really want a chicken that lays green and blue eggs, called an Araucanas Chicken. But until then I will simply enjoy my In-laws eggs.

This looks fabulous!
This sounds amazing! I love easy recipes like this. I might have to give it a go for our breakfast for dinner night tomorrow. 😀
Looks GREAT! Thanks again for all the great recipes, each week!
Any suggestions on what to use in place of mushrooms? My kids hate them. Okay, honestly, I do too! The rest looks delicious though
We used to have about 25 chickens that laid blue, green, and pink eggs! They are amazing! It’s like Easter everyday because you never know what colors will be out there for you! Fun! Thanks for sharing another wonder recipe!

Now I’m super hungry! I have a friend who loves breakfast casseroles; I should pass this recipe along to her! 🙂
Yummy! Your husband looks happy! I love egg casseroles!

Another yummy tackle:-)
We get those pretty colored eggs and I love them! I don’t know if I could ever go back to plain white or brown eggs again! The funny thing is that after three years I still don’t like the way farm fresh eggs taste. They are very eggy and tough but I eat them anyway and the kids like them.
Wow – looks fantastic and it looks like your hubby enjoyed it!
My husband would kill me in my sleep if I brought home a recipe with mushrooms, so I’ll just have to live vicariously through you! It looks delicious; kind of reminds me of quiche a little bit.
Maybe I’ll have to try this one when he’s busy doing something important and manly, like fixing our toilet.
Thanks for the comments gals!
Sherry- let me know what you think if you try it.
Mindee- you could easily replace the mushrooms, with spinach, bell peppers, broccoli, or omit them all together.
Kim- wow 25 chickens, that would be so fun!
Jill- share the recipe with your friend, and or make it yourself and have her over for dinner.
Cowgirl- I know my hubby just loves to pose for these kinds of pics (insert sarcasm) ha ha
Lazy Organizer- I hate to hear you don’t like the way they taste, I just love them. I have heard that certain breeds of chickens the eggs will be stronger.
Tabitha- Thanks, and yes he really loved it and he’s not much for breakfast for dinner.
Sarah- We can’t have that. Try it with spinach, broccoli or bell peppers instead, or just omit them. Or even make it and send him off to fix the car or toilet, lol
Looks so yummy! I thought it looked a lot like a quiche, too. Thanks for sharing! And your photos were great.
Wow sounds really delicious! Easy to make too! Great recipe 🙂
That looks so YUMMY!! i think I will make this casserole for Easter Sunday. =) But dh doesn’t like bacon so I’ll use sausage instead.
I couldn’t agree with you more on everything you said! Breakfast for dinner! Oh yeah! And I love to make breakfast casseroles. Thanks for the new recipe!
We had a pair of Araucanus chickens (and an egg-laying DUCK!) when we lived in Maui. The eggs taste exactly the same but the color is SOOO cool!
Be still my breakfast-lovin’ heart! Yum-oh! Thanks for posting this recipe–I’ll see you on Friday, for Food on Fridays!
You are the breakfast casserole queen. If this is anything like the one we published in the Paulding Family Times, then I’m sure it’s out-of-this-world!
Your casserole looks scrumptious! I love breakfast any time of day. Thanks for stopping by from TMTT!
Looks absolutley delicious!! It is making me hungry for breakfast!
That looks YUMMY!
looks delicious… do you think you could make it with egg whites???
