Now that we have space for overnight guests, we realized we also need ideas for easy breakfasts when entertaining that go beyond bagels and cream cheese. (Though we do love bagels and cream cheese, let's not lie.) We also like the idea of dishes that can be prepped ahead so that no one has to get up extra early to start cooking, just early enough to pop something in the oven and be done.
A quick Google search for breakfast casseroles yielded tons of results, including this Basic Oven Omelet. It can stay in the fridge for up to 24 hours before cooking, and it only takes about 10 minutes of prep work. Whisk together 10 eggs with 2 cups of milk, add spices and a cup of Parmesan, and you're pretty much done. The recipe also calls for chopped ham, but we opted to use fresh spinach instead. Pour it all into a greased baking dish and you're good to go!
It only takes about 45 minutes to bake, and results in a tasty dish that can be cut into lovely squares to share with guests.
One thing we did notice is that our choice to use fresh spinach resulted in some water leaking to the bottom of the plate. But it didn't affect the flavor of the eggs at all, so it's just something to keep in mind if you're planning for fancy presentation.
