How to Make Spinach Bacon and Mushroom Breakfast Casserole
Start with eggs. Imagine that.
Aren’t they pretty? Give them a quick whisk.
Grab some bacon and cook it until it’s just the way you like it — extra crispy or a little flimsy. Your choice.
Rough chop the bacon and throw it in with eggs.
Chop up about two cups of mushrooms and toss with the eggs.
Next goes in chopped spinach. I love spinach, so I used about 3 cups.
Pour in 1/2 cup of melted butter.
Throw in a cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Give it a quick mix.
Pour into a 9×13 casserole dish that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
Bake for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees.
Remove from oven and let stand for about five minutes. Serve warm and enjoy.

Here’s what baffles me.
Prep time – 10 minutes.
Chop 3 cups of spinach, chop 2 cups of mushrooms, cook and chop 6 slices of bacon, grate 1 cup of cheese, etc. Not just this recipe – almost all of them.
If whisking and mixing and spraying and pouring is the 10 minutes, what exactly do you call the labor intensive stuff, you know, when you’re not a master chopper, grater like Rachel Ray?
It would just help novice cooks if you guys could give it a name. And also a time for it (for amateurs).
Maggie, prep time in a recipe considers that the chopping, measuring, etc. have been done and the ingredients are at the level described in the recipe ingredient list. Prep time just figures the time it takes to follow the steps in the recipe instructions. While it may take you 30 minutes to prep the ingredients, someone else may take 45 minutes or 20 minutes to prep.
I don’t like mushrooms but I like that your recipe uses fresh spinach. If I replace the mushrooms with a red bell pepper will it still turn out?
I’ve never made it that way, Carol, but let me know how it turns out. Thanks! xo
I made this but omitted the butter cause i forgot… It was so easy and delicious!!
So glad you enjoyed it, Beverly! xo
This is the first egg casserole I found that doesn’t call for milk. I just want to verify that milk is not required.
no it’s not
