Gluten-Free Holiday Egg-Bake
- 20 cremini mushrooms (whole)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 1 12 teaspoons dried marjoram
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 12 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 stalks broccoli (crowns only, no stems, chopped into florettes)
- 1 large yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 12 ounces white bread (gluten-free, about one loaf)
- 6 ounces mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 12 ounces cheddar cheese (shredded, may substitute other cheese)
- 4 cups 2% low-fat milk
- 12 eggs
- Clean and slice the cremini (brown) mushrooms.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the grapeseed oil.
- When the butter is completely melted, saute the mushrooms in it with the dried marjoram until darkened and the slices have shrunk to about 2/3rds their un-cooked size.
- Add half the salt and half the pepper to the mushrooms along with the broccoli and onion.
- Continue to saute until the onions turn translucent.
- Remove the vegetables to a mixing bowl.
- Slice the gluten-free bread into small, bite-size cubes and add to the mixing bowl with the vegetables.
- Add all of the mozzarella cheese and half of the cheddar cheese.
- Fold the ingredients -the vegetables, the bread, and the cheeses- together.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the milk, eggs, and remainder of the salt and pepper together.
- Oil a 3-quart, oven-safe baking dish.
- To the oiled baking dish, add the vegetables, bread, and cheese, spreading it out evenly on the bottom.
- Pour the whisked milk and eggs over the top, slowly, distributing the mixture evenly into the vegetables and bread.
- Sprinkle the remaining half of the cheese evenly over the top.
- Let sit, covered, for 15-30 minutes.
- Heat your oven to 350 (F).
- Place the baking dish, un-covered, in the heated oven and bake for 30-45 minutes, checking for doneness of the eggs to match your personal preference.
- Remove from the oven and serve, cutting into squares.
- OPTIONAL: Add slices of raw, cherry tomatoes over the top as a flavorful garnish.
