Creamy Ricotta Egg Casserole With Fresh Tomatoes image

This is so easy to make and a bit different that the "generic" egg casserole dish. They are absolutely wonderful; creamy with just a hint of heat and fresh herbs and a tomato topping. This does need some time to cook, but easy. This will serve about 4-6 people depending on what else you are serving. Some pan seared potatoes and maybe some bacon or grilled sausage would be great with this. And don't think just breakfast. I served this with chicken sausage, potato hash, and fresh fruit, for a perfect dinner.

Time 55m

Yield 4-8 , 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 extra large eggs, lightly beaten
2 large tomatoes, thin sliced (6-8 slices per tomato)
1 small jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed and diced fine
1 small onion, fine diced
1 cup baking mix (Jiffy or Bisquick)
1 pint ricotta cheese, part skim is ok but no NO fat
2 cups grated white cheddar cheese
1 cup milk (no skim for this)
2 tablespoons fresh basil, diced fine
1 tablespoon fresh chives, diced fine
4 tablespoons melted butter (not margarine)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Eggs -- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients except for the tomatoes and chives. Mix well until everything is combined. Pour into a 13x9 pan sprayed with a non-stick spray or Pam.
  • Bake -- In a 350 degree oven, middle shelf, bake for 45-55 minutes. To see if it is done, test like you would a cake -- stick a knife in the center to make sure it comes out clean.
  • Then turn on the broiler, remove your dish and top with the tomato slices and plenty of salt and pepper. Broil 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften slightly and the top is lightly brown. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to let it rest. A good 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve -- Sprinkle with the fresh chives before serving. I don't try to cut this, but rather just spoon it. They are absolutely wonderful and creamy, and a nice change from traditional scrambled eggs. Add some potatoes, bacon or sausage and you have a wonderful meal. ENJOY!

I had some leftover roasted vegetables, so I added them to the casserole. It was a great way to use up leftovers and it made the casserole even more flavorful.

This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add some salt, pepper, and garlic next time.

I'm not a big fan of ricotta cheese, but I really enjoyed this casserole. The eggs and tomatoes helped to balance out the flavor of the ricotta. I would definitely make this again.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The only thing I would change next time is to add some chopped spinach or kale for an extra boost of nutrition.

This casserole was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or cream next time.
