Mediterranean Breakfast Casserole
Overview
Another blank slate for you, chef. Any meat works. Any cheese works. Any vegetables (seasonal, local, right?) work. Just don't forget the sun dried tomatoes. Oh...this can be cooked in one pan in the oven, OR...on top of the stove. I recommend a skillet with a lid and a very low flame. The steam that gets trapped by the lid will help cook the eggs, making them lighter and fluffier.
