Breakfast, for dinner
This hearty casserole brings all the benefits of breakfast – that being eggs, cheese, and it’s quick and easy to make! – to the dinner table. Line a greased baking dish with cooked hash brown patties. Using a fork, lightly mash into the corners for full coverage. Cover with beaten eggs mixed with halved cherry tomatoes, a couple of handfuls of baby spinach, a sprinkling of herbs, and shredded cheddar cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375°F, until set in the centre, about 30 minutes. Top with extra cheese and broil for a few minutes to achieve the perfectly golden top. Tip: This beauty is a great make-ahead dish that tastes even better the next day!
