Asparagus, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 45 minutes

Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes

This delicious Low-Carb Asparagus, Mushroom, and Goat Cheese Breakfast Casserole would be perfect for a weekend brunch. And leftovers will reheat beautifully in the microwave.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. fresh asparagus, washed, ends trimmed, and cut into 1-2 inch pieces
• 1 lb. fresh mushrooms, washed and cut into thick half slices (see notes)
• 1 T olive oil (depending on your pan)
• 6 oz. goat cheese that comes in a log, cut into very thin slices
• 12 eggs
• 2 T half and half (see notes)
• 2 tsp. Spike Seasoning (see notes)
• fresh-ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 F/190C.
2. Spray a 9" x 13" glass or crockery casserole dish with non-stick spray or mist with olive oil. Be sure to spray the sides too, or the eggs will stick.
3. If your goat cheese feels at all soft, put it in the freezer to get firm while you prep the other ingredients.
4. Wash mushrooms and cut into thick slices (or use pre-sliced mushrooms like I did). Then cook mushrooms in a small amount of olive oil over medium high heat. 
5. When mushrooms have released all their liquid and slightly browned, put them in the bottom of the casserole dish. 
6. While mushrooms cook, trim off woody ends of asparagus and cut into pieces about 1-2 inches long.
7. Wipe out your pan if it needs it, then add a little more oil and cook the asparagus 3-4 minutes, or until it's barely starting to get cooked and has turned bright green. 
8. Put the asparagus in the casserole dish, season with Spike Seasoning (affiliate link) and black pepper, then gently stir to combine the vegetables.
9. Remove goat cheese from the freezer (or fridge), cut off desired amount, cut into slices, and layer the goat cheese on top of the vegetables. 
10. Beat eggs with the half and half until they're well combined, then pour eggs over the veggies.
11. Bake at 375F/190C until the eggs are well set and the top is starting to lightly brown, about 45-50 minutes. Serve hot.
12. This can be refrigerated and reheated in the microwave.

Notes

I used pre-sliced mushrooms which made the recipe even easier.

Use milk, half and half, or cream, whichever you prefer.

Use any all-purpose seasoning that’s good on vegetables if you don’t have Spike.
