Baked Eggs, Grandma-Style Recipe

  • cooking spray (such as Pam®)
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup butter, divided
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 green onions, sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
  • ground black pepper to taste
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Layer Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend and mozzarella cheese in the prepared baking dish.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms and green onions until mushrooms are golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes. Add spinach and tomatoes; saute just until spinach wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Spoon vegetable mixture over cheese mixture.
  4. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, mustard, marjoram, tarragon, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour over vegetable mixture. Dot remaining butter on the egg mixture.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
